CODAD drive

Principle of a CODAD drive system

A CODAD drive (for Combined Diesel and Diesel ) is a ship drive concept in which two different diesel engines are switched to the drive shaft (s). The advantage of this type of drive, similar to the related COGAG drive , is the low fuel consumption, the disadvantage is the complicated gearbox .

COGAG drives are used in particular in yacht building. The first warships to receive this system were the Turkish Navy's MEKO-140 ships in the 1970s . The system turned out to be maintenance-intensive.
