Propel, the marine propulsion division of Saietta Group, says it is close to completing the testing and development of its S1 electric outboard motor. Currently at METSTRADE (Stand 121 in Hall 1), Propel is showing its D1 inboard electric motor that has been on sale since the summer of 2022, as well as its new B1 modular ‘suitcase’ battery solution.
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.
A team in Amsterdam has worked ‘hand-in-glove’ with engineers at Saietta Group’s LDE (Light Duty eDrive) unit at Silverstone Technical Centre in the UK, and with colleagues setting up the production line in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.
Saietta Group plc (LON:SED) is a multi-national business which designs, engineers and manufactures complete Light Duty and Heavy Duty electric drive (eDrive) systems for electric vehicles on land from scooters to buses (vehicle categories L, M, N and T) as well as marine applications.
