Azimut pioneered the approach to sustainability issues with the creation of the family of Low Emission Yachts, which now includes a remarkable 50% of the models in the range. For Azimut, the benchmark for including new models in this family is “20% less” emissions.

SPOTLIGHT AZIMUT

Grande 26M. Azimut was the first brand to believe in Pod propulsion systems, today’s market-beating technology. Drawing on past experience, for Grande 26M the Yard developed the new Pod 4600 propulsion system in partnership with ZF and installed it for the first time on the new Grande line flagship. The system, combined with a 30% lighter superstructure achieved through the extensive use of carbon fibre, delivers 20% lower fuel consumption than boats the same size at the most frequently set speeds.

Grande 36M forms part of the Low Emission Yacht range thanks to synergy between the highefficiency D2P® Displacement-to-Planing hull, designed by P.L. AUSONIO Naval Architecture in conjunction with the Yard’s research and development office, and extensive use of carbon fibre to reduce the weight of the superstructure. These innovative design features introduced by Azimut make it possible to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 30% compared to boats of the same weight and size with a traditional chine hull.

Magellano 30M adapts to a variety of sea conditions thanks to the Dual Mode double chine hull, which compared with traditional hard chine hulls ensures smoother entry into the water and guaranteed efficiency and stability even in rough sea, plus a 20% reduction in emissions. Another feature that ensures seamless contact with the sea and respect for the natural environment around the yacht is Zero Emission Hotel Mode, a stand-by operating state that keeps the onboard systems supplied with power without switching on the generators, for up to four hours during the day and eight hours at night, so the owner and guests can enjoy the sound of silence at anchor.

The S Line family of sportier performance products is also the focus of Azimut’s most advanced research. The high-efficiency hull, carbon superstructure and IPS triple propulsion system reduce the fuel consumption of the new S7 by up to 30% at medium and high speeds.
