Sanlorenzo has partnered with BYD Energy Storage on next-generation battery technology.
The partnership is another development in Sanlorenzo’s Road to 2030 sustainability strategy and combines the shipyard’s yachting innovation with BYD’s battery and energy storage technology.
The partnership establishes a long-term collaboration, including an ongoing research and development programme focused on exploring how advanced energy storage technologies can contribute to a new generation of quieter, lower-impact and more intelligently managed yachts.
The agreement also establishes BYD Energy Storage as technology supplier and official battery supplier to Sanlorenzo.
Through the collaboration, Sanlorenzo and BYD Energy Storage will explore how next-generation battery systems and energy management solutions can support the development of lower-impact yachting platforms, while preserving the design, comfort, and lifestyle experience that define the brand.
