Venice Boat Show

The whole E-WERF team travelled to Venice for an inspiring visit to the Salone Nautico. It was a special trip, not least because we work with a boat builder from this region. We designed the complete electric propulsion system for this shipyard and supplied it as a plug-and-play solution.

During the trade fair, we test-sailed a large number of electric boats and propulsion systems. What immediately struck us was just how rapidly developments are currently unfolding. Electric boating is no longer limited to calm inland waters. Increasingly mature, reliable and practical solutions are also becoming available for coastal waters, high-speed applications and high-voltage systems.

It was also clear that sustainability is playing an increasingly important role within the water sports sector. The proportion of electric and hybrid boats at the show is growing every year. This year, too, there were more electric boats moored at the jetties than at the previous edition, and a special area of the show had been set aside for electric and sustainable boating.
