The boat is propelled by two special surface drives (plug-and-play QDrive) and can reach speeds of up to 50 knots. The RIB also pulls the rooster tail (water tail) typical of surface drives behind it. The drives are powered by a 105 kWh battery pack. Charging is carried out not only by a standard AC charger with 22 kW, but also by a DC fast charger with 150 kW. According to the shipyard, this allows the batteries to be charged up to 80 per cent in just 40 minutes. eD-Tec is currently also developing a battery pack with a higher capacity (140 kWh), which will enable an even greater range and longer operating time.
Versatile RIB from eD-Tec
According to eD-Tec, the boat is suitable both as a superyacht tender and for the leisure market. The hull is foilable and customers have the option of choosing a foil assist system, which increases the range and makes sea behaviour more pleasant. The boat is also equipped with a central steering console with two seats and two monitors. Various options such as additional awnings, toilet, shower, solar panels on the hardtop and entertainment system can also be selected.
