Innovative Electric Drive Systems Unveiled at Boot Düsseldorf 2024

The latest innovations from Molabo will be showcased at boot Düsseldorf, the world’s largest watersports and boat show, from January 18 to 26. Visitors can explore Molabo’s award-winning electric drive systems in Hall 10, Booth G63. Molabo is expanding its range of reliable, easy-to-install, and cost-effective electric drive systems for the marine industry by 2025. Unlike high-voltage systems, Molabo’s low-voltage technology is safe-to-touch, making installation and maintenance more streamlined for boatbuilders and owners. The 48-volt Aries drive systems have already been successfully implemented in top-tier recreational marine applications, with boatbuilders like Baltic Yachts and Frauscher Bootswerft trusting the system for electric and hybrid boats up to 21 meters.

One of Molabo’s key offerings is the Aries i30 drive system, which incorporates the company’s patented ISCAD technology at a more accessible price point. This system, previously known as the Aries i25, now delivers up to 29.9 kW of power at just 48 V. Designed for displacement boats up to 7 tons, planing boats up to 8 meters, and sailboats up to 10 meters, the Aries i30 drive system provides a compact and cost-effective solution for boaters. Molabo is also focusing on enhancing its electric boating solutions through strategic partnerships and integrations, offering boatbuilders modular energy storage and charging solutions with safe lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology.

In addition to expanding its partnerships with boatbuilders, Molabo is now offering two integrated energy storage and charging solutions using Mastervolt and Victron components. These solutions range from 24 kWh to 135 kWh, catering to various vessel sizes and power needs. All Aries systems are now compatible with Dockmate systems, providing seamless maneuvering and docking control. Adrian Patzak, COO of Molabo GmbH, emphasized the company’s commitment to shaping the future of boating by delivering safe, powerful, and accessible solutions for emission-free boating. By collaborating with industry partners, Molabo aims to drive the transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable marine industry.
