The E-Line 22 kW is liquid-cooled and delivers instant torque, just as you would expect from an electric motor - without having to put up with the vibrations or noise of a conventional combustion engine. The result: a quiet, comfortable ride, which is particularly beneficial in sensitive waters or during urban harbour manoeuvres.
According to Vetus, three driving modes - Eco, Normal and Power - enable precise adjustment between energy efficiency and performance. Thanks to the active electronic brake, even larger yachts can be braked gently, while the system can be easily integrated into existing cockpit displays via modern on-board networks such as V-CAN bus and NMEA-2000. When converting to an E-Line drive, only the engine and batteries need to be replaced. All other displays can remain as long as they display NMEA-2000 data.
Technical elegance
The compact, modular design of the Vetus E-Line simplifies installation, whether as a new purchase or for a repower project. Particularly interesting for yacht owners: the maintenance effort is minimal. Without gearboxes, clutches or complex fuel systems, the need for servicing is drastically reduced.
The motor is optimised for boats up to around 15 metres or up to 20 tonnes total weight. Supplied ready for connection, the package includes all cables, control units and monitoring systems in addition to the motor.
Sustainable, stylish and suitable for everyday use
According to Vetus, the E-Line stands for emission-free driving without compromising on performance or comfort. Operating costs are reduced, the noise level is kept to a minimum and driving pleasure increases - a combination that is particularly impressive for weekend excursions, river cruises or harbour manoeuvres.
For yacht owners who want to enjoy the luxury of silence without sacrificing efficiency and power, the E-Line 22 kW is a pioneering solution. This is where technological sophistication meets sustainable lifestyle - a symbiosis that impressively emphasises the trend towards electric drives in the premium boat segment.
