Compact, complete, highly efficient, plug & play, and suitable for both new and existing vessels – that's how VETUS envisions electric boating.

Silent electric enjoyment

Enjoy undisturbed peace, unlimited cruising, and a carefree watersports experience at the touch of a button. VETUS' smart and modular electric propulsion systems are easy to install (also as a refit) and stand for performance, savings, and convenience. With a VETUS electric propulsion system, you are always ready for a wonderful time on the water. A whole day of pure enjoyment is now within your reach.

With VETUS E-DRIVES, you get closer to yourself, nature, family, and friends

Years of development and thousands of hours of testing were dedicated to developing proprietary technologies that virtually eliminate noise without sacrificing performance. And because VETUS E-DRIVES comply with all environmental regulations, you can say goodbye to more than just the sound of a diesel engine. Emissions, fumes, exhaust gases, and environmental restrictions are also a thing of the past!

Experience long, carefree days on the water

VETUS E-DRIVES offer you optimal cruising comfort. No need to wait for the engine to warm up... you step aboard and can go! And thanks to the high starting torque, you'll be on your way quickly with a powerful and fast-accelerating engine.

You have a choice of three propulsion modes: NORMAL, ECO, and POWER. In ECO mode, the maximum power of the E-DRIVE is limited, giving you maximum range. POWER mode unleashes peak power for quick maneuvers. This allows you to reach up to 13.3 kW at 1,600 rpm. Peak power is available for fifteen minutes per hour.

You never have to worry about your day on the water ending sooner than planned. With VETUS electric propulsion systems, you have access to a comprehensive set of real-time data. You can therefore always keep an eye on your battery and range. And with the right battery bank, you can easily sail all day.

Compact, all-in-one design

Don't judge a VETUS E-DRIVE solely by its compactness. Just because it takes up little space doesn't mean it doesn't offer a LOT. VETUS electric propulsion systems offer countless intelligent cruising benefits:

Sailing Assist gives you multiple engine mappings with adaptive RPM curve technology for maximum efficiency.
Active electric braking technology enables fast and active maneuvering. Going astern in an instant or stopping within a boat length is a reality.
Advanced engine electronics feature a battery protection function that protects your battery bank from damage and extends its lifespan.
The patented engine control unit actively monitors the battery to prevent unwanted damage.
With the Boosted Battery Charge function, a 48VDC battery bank can be charged with a 24VDC charger. This innovative solution makes it possible to build boats with a safer network due to the lower voltage.

Easy refits

VETUS electric propulsion systems are designed with compactness and easy installation in mind. The included mounting brackets and engine mounts allow for a quick refit. Thanks to the mounting brackets with engine mounts that can be easily adjusted in height, length, and width, and whose angle can be changed (0° or 8°), VETUS E-DRIVES can be installed on almost any existing engine foundation. In addition, VETUS electric propulsion engines are designed to be compatible with your existing propeller and propeller shaft.

Costs?

Worried about switching to electric? No need. In the long run, VETUS E-DRIVES will make your boating experience better, cleaner, and cheaper. No gaskets, air or fuel filters to replace, no oil to change, and no carburetor to clean – that means less downtime and lower maintenance costs. And because you also have no fuel costs, an electric boat ultimately costs less.

Peace of mind with VETUS

VETUS has more than 25 years of experience in groundbreaking designs and technology in the field of electric drive systems, plus almost half a century of experience in the best production methods and strict quality controls.

Active electric braking
The E-LINE engine and E-POD system accelerate more powerfully and faster than a diesel engine. Moreover, this electric propulsion works without a reverse gear. This means that when reversing the propeller, the complete high-speed electric motor must immediately come to a standstill and then rotate in the opposite direction. To be able to maneuver quickly astern, as with a reverse gear, VETUS has developed Active Electric Braking for the E-LINE and E-POD. This uses the high torque of the electric motor to quickly and actively change the direction of rotation. With Active Electric Braking
it is possible to bring the boat to a standstill within one boat length. Full control and a familiar way of sailing, with the benefits of a high-torque electric motor.

Battery protection function

The battery protection function of the VETUS electric propulsion motor ensures that the battery pack is not unnecessarily overloaded and that the lifespan of the batteries is longer than just the current sailing season. Discharging the battery bank below the specified voltage damages the batteries and reduces their lifespan. To prevent this, the patented VETUS Motor Controller actively monitors the battery bank based on voltage and current consumption.

Boosted Battery Charge function

Another unique feature of the VETUS e-drive motors is the Boosted Battery Charge function. With the Boosted Battery Charge function, a 24 VDC charger can be used to charge the 48 VDC battery pack of the propulsion. This is an advantage as 24 VDC battery chargers are used much more frequently. Moreover, this offers the yacht builder the possibility to integrate the drive into a 24 VDC electrical onboard network in a simple way.

A long day on the water with peace of mind, now and in the future

Thanks to the cleverly applied water cooling, you get maximum power from the engine and maximum range from the batteries. A full day on the water without limitations. The control panel makes it easy to measure the energy level, and with the right battery pack, you can sail all day.

VETUS' vision for electric boating is compact, complete, highly efficient, plug & play, and suitable for both new and existing vessels. VETUS electric propulsion is integrated with our V-CAN bus system and naturally complies with all emission requirements. Silent, infinitely adjustable, and equipped with robust overload protection: the ideal partner for a comfortable trip!

The VETUS e-drives (E-LINE and E-POD) work with V-CAN, just like the VETUS proportional bow thrusters (BOW PRO). This internally developed CAN control system means fewer cables through your boat, robust and reliable operation, and is easily expandable.

Excluding batteries and battery charger.
Excluding flexible propeller shaft coupling (e.g. Vetus Combiflex (1225 (25 mm)/1230 (30 mm)) or Bullflex1 (20 or 25mm)) €421. While aligning the engine and the propeller shaft is often a time-consuming job, the Vetus Combiflex makes it easy for the installer. Even with an alignment error of up to 2 degrees, the propeller shaft remains perfectly centered on the gearbox flange. An ideal flexible coupling, therefore, for a propeller shaft with a floating propeller shaft seal and an engine on flexible mounts. If the propeller shaft makes a 2-degree angle with the engine, the maximum permissible rotational speed is 1500 revolutions per minute on the shaft. Torsional vibrations that arise during load changes and/or are caused by the uneven running of the engine are damped thanks to the very flexible rubber element. This pre-tensioned rubber element ensures a play-free and vibration-damping connection between the engine and the propeller shaft. Thanks to the breakthrough protection (both axial and radial), this connection remains optimally guaranteed. The non-tapered clamping hub ensures problem-free assembly, and perhaps even more importantly, disassembly (unlike a tapered clamping hub). The propeller shaft is easy to cut to length; saw, deburr, degrease, and assemble, that's all. The Vetus Combiflex flexible coupling has a 4” flange that fits common models of gearboxes. Suitable adapter flanges are available for Yanmar, Volvo, and Kanzaki gearboxes. Maximum permissible power at 1500 revolutions per minute 36KW (48HP).
