Category Description

The goal of hybrid and clean electric propulsion is to provide a comfortable, quiet ride with minimal impact on the environment. Hybrid diesel-electric units have long been known in shipbuilding; they convert the energy of liquid fuel into electricity through a bundle of internal combustion engines, a generator and an electric motor connected to a gearbox. The hybrid technology allows to choose optimum economic modes of movement.

Small boats and tenders, like electric carts, can be equipped exclusively with battery-powered electric motors, which require regular recharging from external sources. With high environmental friendliness and complete silence, electric boats have a low power reserve, which is directly dependent on speed. The main factors that hinder these boats in their development are the imperfection and significant cost of batteries with high current efficiency.

The boats of the latest generation can be operated for quite a long time: the battery reserve is sufficient for 2-3 hours of fast power and 8-10 hours of economical power. Often, manufacturers provide for easy battery replacement on the go.
