Electric marine propulsion specialist ExploMar will preview its upcoming 400hp electric outboard at Metstrade 2026, ahead of an official debut planned for the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show in March 2027.
The concept extends the company’s development programme beyond its existing 100hp–300hp outboard range, targeting larger vessels and more demanding marine applications. At Metstrade, ExploMar will share its plans with boatbuilders, distributors and industry partners.
“From day one, we’ve believed that electric propulsion can be faster, stronger, and more exciting,” said Alex Dong, founder and chief executive of ExploMar.
“And we’ve never stopped pushing to prove it. We want to show the world what electric boating is truly capable of and inspire more people to experience it.”
New boundaries
He added: “Moving from 300hp to 400hp is another big step forward for us. But it’s not just about more horsepower.
“It’s about breaking new boundaries and showing that there’s still so much more to come.”
ExploMar says its current outboards power recreational and commercial vessels, including fishing boats, day cruisers, houseboats and sightseeing boats.
Commercial applications also include passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture vessels.
The company says experience deploying these systems across different vessel types and operating environments is informing development of its higher-power products.
