Danfoss Editron is developing a hybrid-electric drive, comprising two propulsion systems, for use in a removable bow that can turn almost any vessel into an icebreaker. The €7.6m ($8.5m), EU-funded project is being developed by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency. When finished, the bow will be anchored in the country's Mustola port and will operate in the Saimaa Lake area from winter. The project is part of Finland's efforts to reduce emissions by 40% by 2030.
