Innovative product launches for 2025
Pod Drive 20 eSSA
The new Pod Drive 20 eSSA delivers luxury, performance, and versatility. Integrating the motor, propeller, and cooling system into a compact unit, it mounts beneath the hull to eliminate the need for traditional inboard engines and shaft lines. This frees up significant interior space, making it ideal for modern vessel designs. Designed for flexibility, the Pod Drive 20 eSSA is compatible with a wide range of vessels and can be easily mounted onto existing Volvo or Yanmar sail drives, streamlining installation while enhancing vessel aesthetics.
G102-230 Battery
The G102-230 battery offers a capacity of 23kWh, supports 3,500 cycles at 80% Depth of Discharge (DOD), and allows for up to eight batteries to be connected in parallel. This high-capacity battery powers ePropulsion’s 96V systems, including the X- and I-Series motors and Pod Drive eSSA Series. Its built-in intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) ensures maximum safety, while its slim, space-saving design is ideal for under-seat or under-deck storage, optimising onboard space without compromising performance.
PowerCruise Essential Energy System
The PowerCruise Essential is a modular energy solution designed for electric and hybrid vessels. Compatible with all 96V eSSA products, including the X-Series, I-Series, and Pod Drive eSSA, it offers multiple configuration options for a variety of vessel layouts. The system supports features such as automatic power management and hybrid control and can deliver tailored AC or DC power solutions to meet diverse vessel requirements. This all-in-one system provides simplicity and flexibility for OEM partners.
