In the naval segment, there are numerous non-essential applications that do not affect the vessel’s propulsion, steering, or safety but, under normal conditions, are fundamental to ensuring efficient and productive operations. These include auxiliary equipment such as fans and air conditioning (HVAC), pumping systems, and hydraulic power units (HPU), installed in enclosed spaces. Although not critical, these applications require reliability and efficiency to ensure operational continuity.

The W20 Marine was specifically designed for this context, meeting the efficiency requirements demanded by the sector while offering the electrical flexibility and mechanical strength required for marine applications. For this reason, the product line comes with CE marking and Work Certificates from major classification societies. The result is a practical, reliable solution with an excellent cost-benefit ratio, reducing the need for additional investments.

The W20 Marine carries the full reliability of the WEG brand, combined with the technical support of a well-established global network, ready to keep operations running whenever and wherever needed, ensuring operational safety and peace of mind throughout the entire equipment lifecycle.
