ChapDrive AS has been awarded a grant of NOK 13 million (EUR 1.7 million) from Innovation Norway to finance the development of the second generation hydraulic drive, suitable for large multi MW wind turbines.

ChapDrive started the second generation integrated hydraulic transmission technology project in august 2011. For the project ChapDrive will apply the newest high efficiency hydraulic components with digital valve technology.

Based on the latest developments in ChapDrive the company is now ready to present the technology towards potential customers and industrial partners. ChapDrive will present the technology at the 9th Deep Sea Offshore Wind R&D Seminar held the 19-20th of January in Trondheim, Norway.

ChapDrive has developed its proprietary technology since 2006. Part of this development has been supported by Innovation Norway, ENOVA and the Norwegian Research council together with leading venture capitalists Hafslund Venture AS, Investinor, NorthZone Ventures, Statoil Venture and Viking Venture.
