e-Motion Hybrid Systems
e-Motion Hybrid Systems supplies parallel and serial hybrid propulsion solutions specifically tailored for yachts from 50 to 250 feet LOA. The company integrates electric propulsion technology directly into traditional direct shaft diesel setups without requiring modifications to the original shaft line. Yacht owners can switch between full electric cruising, hybrid navigation, and direct diesel drive with the push of a button.
Using permanent magnet electric motors and alternators, e-Motion delivers compact, lightweight machinery with instant power delivery. In Economy Navigation Mode, fuel consumption drops by up to 30 percent, extending range for long transfers while significantly cutting engine running hours on primary diesels and generators. When maximum speed or acceleration is needed, Power Boost Mode combines electric and diesel power simultaneously.
The technology focuses on transforming the onboard environment by minimizing noise, vibration, and exhaust. In Zero-Emissions Electric Mode, e-Motion propulsion provides near-silent cruising, creating a peaceful experience similar to sailing. After mooring, Hotel Mode powers onboard systems directly from the battery bank without running generators, keeping swim platforms, aft decks, and guest cabins quiet and free of fumes.
The main hybrid machinery requires no routine maintenance outside of standard servicing for dedicated water cooling pumps. The system includes rapid battery charging that reaches 90 percent capacity in 35 minutes or less, alongside universal worldwide shore power compatibility. In addition to lower fuel and service costs, these efficiency features help protect long-term resale value for the yacht.
