PowerHybrid 80 for sailing yachts

Marine propulsion is a priority candidate for hybridization. In fact, for a non-planing hull, the hydrodynamic resistance varies greatly with speed. On a daily basis, at a cruising speed lower than the maximum speed, a conventional engine therefore finds itself in a range of poor efficiency.

We have designed a hybrid system capable of providing two functionalities:

  • The propulsion of the boat
  • Electricity generation

Powerhybrid, Battery Pack

Powerhybrid, powertrain
