It’s already proven in the D1 inboard electric motor and it works fantastically in this new S1 outboard application, too: clean, highly responsive, easy to use and totally silent. Wicher (Vic) Kist, CEO of Saietta Group said: “Propel’s rapid progress has been enabled by Saietta’s highly effective and proven axial flux motor technology. As such, we are accelerating our manufacturing and sales strategies so we are ready to lead the transition to electrified marine propulsion.” “Adding the S1 outboard electric motor to our D1 inboard solution means we are in a prime position to offer customers robust and efficient zero emissions propulsion for a broad range of leisure craft. "Leisure boat owners and operators will soon have no option but to switch to electric motors as cities implement new rules to clean up their waterways,” said Sander van Dijk, Managing Director and CTO of Propel. ![]() It is forecast that 74% of outboard motor sales in Europe will be electric by 2030. For example, Amsterdam has decreed all vessels must be electric by 2025. The rate of transition to electric motors is set to accelerate significantly in the coming few years as major cities plan to introduce new inland marine emissions legislation. The European market for leisure marine outboard motors sees 200,000 sales per year and is worth US$900m. Discussions with dealers and distribution partners in several other key markets across Europe are at an advanced stage and agreements will be announced in the coming months. Distribution plans are also underway with 10 experienced dealers in The Netherlands already nominated and going through training and onboarding. Propel will begin series production of the S1 in early 2023 at a new assembly line at Saietta Group’s facility in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, which has worked closely with the group’s UK manufacturing design teams. Customers can place orders now for delivery in time for the 2023 European boating season. Propel will present its range of breakthrough electric marine propulsion technologies on Stand 121 in Hall 1 at the METS Marine Trade Show in Amsterdam on 15 - 17 November.Ĭontributing to the Saietta Group’s mission to help clean the air in the world’s largest cities, Propel’s product range is defined by simple and robust designs with clean, sustainable, efficient propulsion. The Propel S1 will join the D1 inboard electric motor that has been on sale since the summer of 2022, as well as its new B1 modular ‘suitcase’ battery solution. Innovative marine propulsion technologies will be presented at the METS Marine Equipment Trade Show in Amsterdam on November 15 - 17Īmsterdam, 14 November 2022 – One year on from making its global debut, Propel, the state-of-the-art marine propulsion division of Saietta Group plc, is close to completing the testing and development of its S1 electric outboard motor. ![]()
