Australian – UK Partnership for Advanced Electric Propulsion Solutions

Marine charging specialist Seavolt and electric drive manufacturer RAD Propulsion have joined forces to provide electric propulsion solutions in Australia and the Pacific region. This partnership aims to cater to boat manufacturers, marinas, ports, sporting organizations, and government agencies. Seavolt offers marine-grade chargers ranging from 7kW to 360kW, supported by micro-grid solar power systems, capable of quickly replenishing workboat batteries with renewable electricity.

RAD Propulsion, based in the UK, brings its RAD 40 electric drive system to the collaboration. This system features advanced technologies such as drive-by-wire control, GPS, Wi-Fi, GSM, NMEA connectivity, and the RADTag intelligent key system. The CEOs of both companies expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing their shared mission to reduce carbon emissions in the maritime industry by offering smarter, cleaner, and more accessible electric propulsion solutions.

The partnership between Seavolt and RAD Propulsion combines Seavolt’s expertise in charging infrastructure with RAD Propulsion’s drive technology, creating a comprehensive package for maritime electrification. This package includes engines, batteries, and charging systems, targeting both retrofitting existing vessels and powering new builds. The collaboration represents a significant advancement in the region’s efforts towards maritime sustainability, providing organizations with a streamlined approach to fleet electrification.
