Vision Marine Technologies has announced the launch of its E-Motion 180e Inboard electric motor system.
The motor will deliver a continuous 180hp at the propeller, and opens a new market segment for Vision Marine, expanding the range of vessel types that can be fitted with its electric propulsion technology including sailboats, ski boats, wakeboard boats, tugboats, cruisers.
The E-Motion 180e Inboard system incorporates 95% of the components from Vision Marine’s E-Motion outboard motor.
The E-Motion 180e Inboard has completed sea trials with a ‘prominent’ European inboard boat brand, demonstrating its capabilities and readiness for recreational use.
“The E-Motion 180e Inboard leverages the expertise we’ve built since 2015, starting with our work on inboard electric propulsion in the Bruce22 model,” said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies.
“The solid foundation of our E-Motion outboard system, developed from this inboard experience, ensures the reliability and efficiency of our new inboard offering.
“The E-Motion 180e Inboard brings the same tested and proven technology to a broader range of vessels, reaffirming our commitment to advancing electric propulsion in the marine industry.”
Vision Marine will show the E-Motion 180e Inboard at IBEX International Boat Show on October 2 2024.
