The streamlined and futuristic-looking motors boast 88% efficiency at the prop, and are available in three models – the X12, X20 and X40. As the names suggest, the outputs are 12kW (15.6hp), 20kW (26hp) and 40kW (52hp) respectively. The new models also feature an electric steering system that operates through the company’s proprietary CANbus network, eSSA (ePropulsion Smart System Architecture).
The electric steering not only frees the installation from hydraulic rams and hoses, it also enables advanced position holding and other semi-automatic pilotage functions.
The ePropulsion team has also developed the X Series to be able to plug in to renewables, and have already enabled commercial
countries to harness energy
from onboard solar panels. The X Series has been designed for a tough life. The X40, for example, is waterproof to IP67 standards (1m immersion for 30 minutes) and has been built to a minimum service life of 5,000 hours.
“The X Series is the result of extensive R&D. We are always looking to go above and beyond the industry standards,” said CEO, Danny Tao. “With the advanced X Series, we deliver more than electric propulsion. It’s an intelligent and integrated platform accessible for consumers and OEM clients, ensuring a quieter, cleaner boating experience.”
