The Fort Worth Press - Vision Marine and STERK Achieve Internal Hull Optimization for E-Motion(TM) Electric Propulsion Integration

The joint engineering effort-rooted in German engineering precision-focused on refining the internal hull layout of STERK vessels to securely house Vision Marine's E-Motion™ 180E high-voltage electric propulsion system. STERK's proactive approach led to a reimagined internal configuration that supports a range of battery layouts-from three to four high-voltage packs-engineered for both single and dual outboard applications. This initiative not only underscores STERK's innovation as a boatbuilder but also exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking integration that defines true leadership in the transition to electric. By going well beyond what is typically required, STERK has demonstrated both technical capability and a deep, strategic commitment to delivering a fully optimized platform tailored to the demands of high-performance electric propulsion.

"This collaboration has produced a purpose-built hull configuration tailored for high-performance electric propulsion," said Alexandre Mongeon, Co-founder and CEO of Vision Marine Technologies. "It represents tangible execution on our partnership with STERK and underscores the scalability and commercial viability of the E-Motion™ platform in premium boat segments."

Milan Sterk, Managing Partner of STERK Yachts, added, "Working hand-in-hand with Vision Marine, we have ensured our vessels maintain the quality and performance that define STERK while integrating the industry's most advanced electric propulsion. This development reflects our long-term commitment to innovation, premium quality, and renewed Sterk user experience."

This milestone precedes the next phases of the partnership, including proposed complete system integration and sea trials in the upcoming month, with certification and commercial rollout expected to follow. The joint progress reinforces Vision Marine's role as a reference in electric powertrain integration, supporting boat manufacturers seeking to expand their portfolio with high-performance electric offerings.
