Marine technology company Savvy Navvy and RAD Propulsion are collaborating to introduce Smart Range technology.
Users of RAD Propulsion’s electric propulsion systems will be able to use Savvy Navvy’s charts, with power management data integrated with Savvy Navvy’s smart routing to aid journey planning and real-time decision-making on the water.
“By integrating RAD’s innovative propulsion systems with our Savvy Navvy smart routing technology, we’re giving boaters confidence and peace of mind,” explained David Cusworth, head of partnership and innovation at Savvy Navvy.
“Together, we’re delivering safer, smarter, and more comfortable journeys.”

Harry Beadle, head of embedded systems RAD Propulsion, added: “The requirement for electric propulsion in the marine world is happening now as customers transition away from their reliance on fossil fuels.
“We need navigation solutions to follow, enabling smarter solutions for boaters across the globe.
“By leveraging Savvy Navvy’s advanced systems, we aim to provide boat owners with unprecedented accuracy in range prediction and navigation, ensuring they can make the most of their voyages with complete confidence, while minimising environmental impact.”
Factors like tide, wind, and weather conditions, which can impact range, are incorporated into Savvy Navvy’s smart range technology.
To date, the technology has received more than two million downloads.
The partnership with RAD Propulsion is part of Savvy Navvy’s new ‘Savvy Integrated’ product designed to create navigation solutions for marine manufacturers and suppliers.
