UQM will partner with ReGen Nautic to integrate UQM PowerPhase hybrid electric systems into a variety of marine applications.
Florida-based ReGen Nautic is working with several marine original equipment makers to provide propulsion systems as energy-saving powertrain options for yachts, trawlers and larger sailing boats.
UQM said implementation of UQM electric motors and controllers in marine propulsion systems will allow for the capture and storage of more energy while reducing the overall weight of the vessel, increasing cruising speeds, reducing maintenance costs, offering silent operation mode and delivering better overall vessel performance.
ReGen Nautic president and COO Pierre Caouette said the company is collaborating with UQM to develop several hybrid electric systems for the marine industry that will provide dramatically better performance than even the newest diesel technology.
