The Project

ECOLINE
ELECTRIC & HYBRID BOAT

WHO WE ARE

Our industrial initiative consists in design and production of eco-sustainable boats with the global vision to realize every component of each boat with the aim of optimizing the performances, not only as speed performances but also as reliability, protection of the marine and urban environment, as cost-effectiveness of management and use, as comfort and, last but not least, as aesthetics.

The project is based on highly innovative constructive logics that involve every aspect of the boat, from the hull -to optimize seaworthiness and fuel economy- to the positioning and balancing of weights, to the quality of the materials, to the propulsion methods, which, together with the hull and its layout, constitute absolute novelties in the nautical sector.

The first models, hybrid and electric, were exhibited at international boat shows such as the Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes, the Green Mobility Show in Venice, the Lode Na Vode Boat Show in Prague, the Navigami Expo in Milan, the Electric & Hybrid Marine Word of Amsterdam, Locarno Boat Show and the Eco Mobility Flash Mob of Portofino, the latter on the occasion of the inauguration of the protected area of ​​Portofino, Santa Margherita and Rapallo. In 2021 at the Venice Boat Show and again at the Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes.

HYBRID BOAT

LOW EMISSIONS

The characteristics of our innovation lie particularly in the propulsion and in its managing software; the innovation consists of a medium power, low emission turbodiesel ENDOTHERMIC ENGINE which allows a good cruising speed with absolutely low fuel consumption together with an ELECTRIC ENGINE which allows you to navigate in PURE ELECTRIC mode at a pleasant and relaxing speed.

The GENERATOR mode allows you to charge the batteries using the energy generated by the electric motor during the operating phases of the turbodiesel engine.

The energy storage system to feed the electrical module was created through the use of batteries with LI-PO (Lithium-Polymer) cells, being able to contain enough energy with reduced eight and in small spaces.

ELECTRIC BOAT

PURE ELECTRIC WITH STERN DRIVES

Innovative and ingenious, without doubts original, the propulsion system in PURE ELECTRIC, the casing that carries the propeller, which can be called FOOT, contains not only the bevel gear that transmits the motion to the propeller, but also the package of the electronic management system in addition to the electric motor, elements that are directly cooled for continuous immersion in water.

The rotation of the foot connected to the rudder allows you to make turns in small spaces; the electronic system is connected to a display on the dashboard which signals the data (temperatures, rpm,% of remaining battery charge, consumption, etc.); the electric motor is connected to the lithium battery pack with high power LI-PO cells.

To conclude this brief presentation, let’s emphasize the focal points that characterize thour indistrial initiative:

create an innovative type of propulsion applicable to any type of boat respecting the marine and urban environment. Maximum economy of management and use. Demonstrate and highlight once again the technological potential of Italian entrepreneurship with totally Italian products and components.

PURE ELECTRIC WITH SHAFT DRIVES

For higher powers we use the propulsion system with shaft drives, traditional but ideal for obtaining reliability and weight distribution. Also in this case, the electronic system is connected to a display on the dashboard which signals the data (temperatures, rpm,% of remaining battery charge, consumption, etc.); the electric motor is connected to the lithium battery pack with high power LI-PO cells.

To conclude this brief presentation, let’s emphasize the focal points that characterize our industrial initiative:

  • create an innovative type of propulsion applicable to any type of boat respecting the marine and urban environment.
  • Maximum economy of management and use.
  • Demonstrate and highlight once again the technological potential of Italian entrepreneurship with totally Italian products and components.
