Vision Marine Technologies has signed a three-year exclusive supply deal with MS Marine GmbH (STERK yachts).
Under the agreement, Vision Marine will be the sole provider of electric propulsion systems for STERK boats and exclusively integrate its E-Motion 180E electric propulsion system into certain STERK boats with additional models potentially being added in the future, subject to mutual agreement.
The agreement also grants Vision Marine the exclusive global distribution rights for electric-powered STERK vessels with Vision Marine electric propulsion systems.
Vision Marine will introduce STERK vessels to the North American market while solidifying its foothold in Europe.
The STERK boats will be assembled in Germany using Vision’s Marine’s battery packs.
“This agreement helps cement Vision Marine’s role as a driving force in electric marine propulsion,” said Alexandre Mongeon, co-founder and CEO of Vision Marine.
This collaboration strengthens our European presence and I believe it will pave the way for future expansion.
