ePropulsion is expanding its 96V product offerings with the introduction of a new pod drive.
The new Pod Drive 20 eSSA builds on the ePropulsion Smart System Architecture (eSSA), and joins other new products from ePropulsion including the G102-230 battery and a modularised energy system solution, PowerCruise Essential for small electric and hybrid vessels.
“Following the success of our X Series and I-Series motors and the G102-100 battery, and based on discussions with our boat builder partners, we have enhanced our existing product offerings,” said Danny Tao, co-founder and CEO of ePropulsion.
“We have prioritised our product innovation and increased our R&D efforts to better serve our partners in the development of future boat design.”
The Pod Drive 20 eSSA elevates any vessel, bringing onboard a new level of luxury and sophistication. It combines the motor, propeller, and cooling system into one sleek, compact unit that mounts beneath the hull.
By eliminating the need for bulky inboard engines and complex shaft lines, it frees up valuable interior space.
We have prioritised our product innovation and increased our R&D efforts.
