will be in need of clean technology. BAE Systems has been working to reduce emissions for more than 20 years with elec- tric power and propulsion systems in the transit bus industry.

Now it’s taking that expertise to the shipyard. The company’s core technology powers more than 12,000 buses around the world. That expertise, paired with continued investment in its world-leading technical solution, will create a sustainable future for operators and their vessels.

It’s an investment that goes beyond maturing technology.

It will help shape a new vision for the future of marine solu- tions – one that creates cleaner harbors and waterways in the places where we live, work, and visit. So far, the company’s technology has eliminated 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year – the equivalent of planting 4 million trees. If that is any indication of the future, BAE Systems is ready to make quite the splash.
