Vision Marine Technologies is partnering with Smoker Craft Inc to produce a state-of-the-art electric pontoon platform.
The production initiative will produce a pontoon platform designed to integrate Vision Marine’s high-performance (180hp) electric propulsion systems, particularly the pontoon-designed P-Powerpack.
The organisations believe the initiative will produce a ‘transformative product’ for the marine industry.
“Our mission is to deliver a product of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship, which is why we partnered with a top-tier pontoon manufacturer possessing high-volume production capabilities,” said Alexandre Mongeon, Vision Marine CEO.
“Having successfully integrated our electric propulsion systems into various pontoons over the past three years, we are certain this electric pontoon will set a new benchmark on the water and redefine the pontoon boating experience.”
The collaboration is expected to enable Vision Marine to meet increasing market demand and provide rental operators with a high-performance electric boating option.
The new pontoon platform, intended primarily for rental operations, boat clubs and commercial applications, will deliver high-voltage electric propulsion solutions that are both scalable and accessible.
“We are glad to provide Vision Marine with high quality pontoons, best suited for their innovative electric solutions integration,” said Phil Smoker, vice president of sales, Smoker Craft.
Smoker Craft is an American based pontoon manufacturer known for its precision engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Its manufacturing facilities provide precision engineering and laser cutting technology, which Vision Marine says makes it an ideal collaborator to bring its E-Motion 180E Electric Powertrain to market.
