Our long term investigations through year 2 show that reciprocat- ing engines will continue to dominate with more than 9 percent of all vehicles on land and at sea. There is no other prime mover technology that could override piston engines in marine use. The success of diesel engines is based on very good efficiency and the ability to burn fuel of poor and high quality. The big challenge will be to comply with the continuous trend to reduce the exhaust emission. The fact is that in the coming decades more than 8 percent of energy needed in the world will contin- ue to be based on conventional fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal. How is Wartsila preparing now to meet those challenges? Wartsila Corporation is leading supplier of machineries and total ship- power packages for our customers.
