Electric and hybrid propulsion

Our electric propulsion systems are designed to provide a superior boating experience that combines performance, comfort, and environmental responsibility. With silent operation, zero emissions, and low maintenance, it’s ideal for eco-conscious cruising. The compact design saves space on board, while instant torque ensures smooth and responsive handling. Thanks to cleverly applied cooling solutions, the VETUS E-DRIVE systems deliver maximum motor performance
and battery efficiency - giving you the power and range for a full day on the water, without compromise. With intuitive monitoring panels, energy levels are easy to track, and when paired with the appropriate battery pack, you can enjoy un-interrupted cruising all day long. VETUS’ approach to electric boating embraces what is most important nowadays: efficiency, compactness and compatibility - designed as a true plug & play solution for both new builds and retrofitted vessels.
The new VETUS hybrid solution lets you effortlessly switch between diesel and electric propulsion, combining instant torque for quick maneuvers with the endurance and extended range needed for longer journeys. VETUS hybrid system is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the M-Line diesel engines. With custom installation kits, any 2, 3 and 4-cylinder M-Line engine can be upgraded to a high-performance hybrid system - efficient, versatile, and
ready for the future. To ensure a flexible and hassle-free operation - shore power is not a
must - the battery bank connected to the electric motor is recharged automatically while the diesel engine is running. With two distinct modes of operation - electric-only as well as diesel-only -, you can experience the best of both worlds: silent, emission-free cruising through inner-city canals and powerful diesel performance when navigating open waters.
