ZeroJet

Auckland-based ZeroJet develops lightweight, high-performance electric powertrains intended to replace traditional petrol combustion engines on the water. The engineering team focuses on real-world endurance and reliability, testing electric propulsion hardware under demanding conditions to give boat builders and owners predictable range and power.

What began as an internal project for recreational electric jet boards quickly turned into a modular, “plug and play” jet system designed for small boat manufacturers. These compact jet drives fit seamlessly into tenders and small motorboats, offering rapid acceleration without gas fumes or complex exhaust systems.

Product developments include high-efficiency electric outboards, highlighted by a 22kW unit that delivers power comparable to a 30hp petrol motor while maintaining an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. Advanced battery integration and custom energy management keep overall system weight down without sacrificing performance.

ZeroJet designs these low-maintenance drive units for easy installation and quiet operation. By supplying reliable jet drives and outboard powertrains directly to boatbuilders worldwide, the company accelerates the move toward clean, noise-free boating.
