Yamaha Motor Europe has launched its next-generation HARMO electric outboard, featuring HelmMaster EX integration and enhanced smart technology.
The new HARMO 2.0 offers enhanced capabilities and control features that build on the design of its predecessor with a series of upgrades designed to deliver a more versatile, more intuitive boating experience.
“We’re really excited to bring HARMO 2.0 to Europe,” said Fabrice Lacoume, marine director at Yamaha Motor Europe.
“It includes all the innovative engineering that made HARMO 1.0 such a breakthrough, and now offers incredible versatility with so many different possible boating applications, engine configurations, and control options.”
He added: “At Yamaha, we believe that electric engines will be a key part of achieving carbon neutrality in the marine industry, alongside alternative sustainable fuels and hydrogen power.
“With this in mind, the whole team is very proud to launch this new model which will see electric engines installed on a far wider range of watercraft than ever before.”
The new motor builds on the design of the original HARMO, with a new design, more configuration options including single and twin and a choice of control packages.
The new design allows for installation on a greater variety of watercraft, from houseboats to water taxis via rental boats.
It is available with full rigging or joystick control packages.
