Yanmar Stage V engines are powering a two-week official validation test started of revolutionary new COVID-19 rapid testing method: a breath test with the QuBA (Quick Breath Analyzer). Fast, safe, reliable and - very important - without any nasty swabs in your nose and throat. The test could be a huge breakthrough in getting social life back on track.
Yanmar has delivered engines for an innovative hybrid power solution for the live fish carrier, Ro Vision, the winner of Norway’s Boat of the Year Award.
Osaka Bay's first LNG tugboat, "Ishin" was completed at Kobe Port on February 27, 2019 and since March 2020, has been working in Osaka Bay and the Seto Inland Sea guiding large vessels in the area. Yanmar supplied two marine dual fuel engines (6EY26DF), as well as the fuel supply system which included the LNG fuel tank, buffer tank, and gas fuel device.
Yamaoka Scholarship Foundation has operated a scholarship program in Indonesia in cooperation with the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) and Darma Persada University (Unsada) since 2018. In continuation of the collaboration with the two universities, the Yamaoka Scholarship Foundation held an acceptance ceremony to welcome the new scholarship recipients.
anmar has received an order from Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd for dual fuel 8EY26LDF engines. The engines will be used to power generators on board Japan’s first two LNG ferries (provisionally named “Sunflower Kurenai” and “Sunflower Murasaki”). The ferries are to be built at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.’s Shimonoseki Shipyard.

With maritime robotics technologies progressing rapidly, since 2017 with the Robotic Boat, an unmanned maritime vessel, Yanmar has been working on the deployment of auto-navigation and automatic docking systems. Yanmar’s maritime robotics technology aims to ease labor shortages in the fisheries start and ensure safe working marine environments.
Agriculture in the future will see increasing use of scientifically precise farming techniques, where automated ‘agro-bots’ monitor, treat and work the land, using advanced technology designed to help maximize yields and minimize disease. With its extensive experience in automation and agricultural mechanization, Yanmar is now showing the way in advanced field robotics research.
From labor shortages to an aging population and a shortage of farmers in the next generation, Japan’s agriculture industry is dealing with a myriad of issues. At the same time, some in the industry are tackling these problems head on and see agricultural robotization as one approach to meeting the challenges facing the industry.
Our ageing national grid infrastructures need to be upgraded or replaced with more efficient, environmentally friendly and secure networks. However, how smart are ‘smart grids’ and what’s the ‘smartest’ way for them to incorporate the latest developments in ‘virtual’ power plant technology? Fortunately, Yanmar and its European research partners are working to help provide the answers.
A move away from traditional coal and nuclear energy has created significant opportunities for combined heat and power generation (CHP). Companies such as Yanmar are providing low carbon solutions that are becoming an increasing part of the energy mix.
Meet Chaowat Veerachart, a talented Thai player who has been selected to represent his country in various age levels.
