If needed, it can also surge to a high-speed motor to fulfill its duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, you could have both electric power and diesel generating the engine&#8217;s power for maximum performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three operational modes make it cheaper to use a small, fuel efficient and low maintenance diesel engine which saves you money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proud to share that <a href=\"https:\/\/ribcraft.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RIBCRAFT UK<\/a> is a Friend of RIBs ONLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/powerboatandrib.com\/ribcraft-offer-more-sustainable-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Original source<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dieselprogress.com\/news\/ribcraft-patrol-boat-gets-hybrid-electric-propulsion-system\/8015960.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIBCRAFT have announced several steps\u00a0they have taken to reduce their carbon footprint and overall environmental impact.
