Our project, known as REACT (Real-world Evidence for Adoption of Clean Technologies) is a 7-month collaborative pre-deployment project that will deliver an AI and data driven capability to accelerate electric vessel and clean tech adoption in the commercial small boat sector. **The partners in this project have first-hand experience of the nervousness aro...

This 5-month collaborative feasibility study will identify potential cyber and safety vulnerabilities with current small boat (<150 kW) electric propulsion and control technologies and then develop a roadmap which outlines tools and techniques to assess and address these vulnerabilities going forward. This is important work to allow the scaling of decarbo...

The CanUK vessel-to-grid (V2G) project brings together a UK and Canadian consortia, working collaboratively to develop the world's first vessel-to-grid project. V2G is the use of bi-directional charging technology, enabling energy to be passed to and from an e-vessel battery, utilising the batteries aboard to open up opportunities for carbon reduction of ...

This Marine Data Exchange Enhancement Project (MDEEP) sets out to better understand the landscape of automotive vehicle to everything (V2X) standards and best practices with a view to applying them into the marine domain. The optimisation of data exchange in the emerging low emission vessel industry offers the potential to accelerate uptake, reduce emissi...

This is a 6-month, pre-commercialisation project which will put in place the infrastructure, process and tools needed to streamline and commercialise RADs product manufacturing and downstream product support activities to allow full commercialisation of our RAD40 electric drive product prior to volume production. This project will: * Generate a coherent, ...

This is a collaborative project between Optima Projects, RAD Propulsion, Fawley Waterside and Red Funnel. Optima are developing an innovative range of electric boats for the leisure marine market and for commercial applications such as water taxis. Optima have developed an ultra-efficient hull that significantly reduces energy consumption, enabling much g...

Optima Projects are developing an innovative range of electric boats for the leisure marine market and this project represents a major step forward in that development in collaboration with RAD Propulsion and SEC Marine. The boats are based on a novel and innovative hull-form to reduce resistance while allowing the vessel to operate well above normal hull...

Marine propulsion is a multi-billion pound industry undergoing a rapid change from direct drive diesel and petrol to electric. To support this change there is an urgent need for innovative electric propulsion systems like those being developed by RAD. The technology that RAD has developed is safer (no external rotating blades), more robust to becoming ent...

This is a 7 month project by RAD Propulsion Ltd to undertake experimental development of an innovative new marine electric propulsion system using rim motor technology and a novel hubless propeller design. The system is targeted at both the commercial and leisure small boat marine market. Marine propulsion is a multi-billion pound industry undergoing a ra...
