E-Propulsion
Silent, clean thrust for fishing boats, ferries and workboats.
Three ways to move a boat.
Every system uses a sealed PMSM motor with FOC control for instant, precise thrust and no exhaust, and each connects directly to our packs and telematics.
Long-tail outboard motors.
The long-tail boat is the workhorse of rivers and coasts from Thailand to Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. Our electric long-tail keeps the format crews already know, with the long shaft, shallow-water reach and simple steering, and replaces the petrol engine with a sealed PMSM and FOC controller. There is no fuel to carry, far less maintenance, and the boat is quiet enough to hear the water.
Z-type outboard with two-speed gear.
A steerable, tilting drive leg with a PMSM, FOC controller and integrated two-speed gearbox. Low gear delivers thrust for heavy loads, towing and manoeuvring in harbour; high gear delivers efficient cruising on open water. It suits small ferries, patrol craft and utility boats.
Direct-drive propulsion.
For inboard installations on ferries and larger vessels, the motor couples straight to the propeller shaft. With no gearbox there are fewer moving parts, lower losses, less maintenance and very high reliability over long service hours.
