Ocean Air 8: Innovative and sustainable tech collab draws a crowd

Nimbus and Alukin displayed their energy efficient concept boat, the Ocean Air 8, with Pascal Technologies and an Evoy motor system at Boot. The boat drew a crowd of boat enthusiasts keen to see a game-changing advancement in sustainable boating.

The Ocean Air 8 is the first aluminum boat of its kind that uses Pascal’s innovative AirHull technology to reduce friction between the hull and the water, lowering the boat’s energy consumption and increasing range for electric propulsion by up to 50%. It’s powered by an Evoy Outboard Breeze 120+hp electric motor system with a top speed of 30 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots. The boat is built with fully recyclable aluminum, further contributing to reducing the environmental impact.

‘Technology that maximizes energy-efficiency is key in the shift to marine electrification,’ says Halvor Albjerk Hamran, Sales Manager at Evoy. ‘When you combine smart design and smart propulsion, everybody wins!’

Evoy is proud to be a part of the project with these Scandinavian thought-leaders.

Evoy is happy to announce our new partnership with Hanse Hungaria as the official representative of Evoy in Hungary. The dealership is near beautiful Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe, which has banned boats with combustion engines.

‘We have a very special market near Lake Balaton. We wanted to step into the electric propulsion market and we were taking our time researching the best solution,’ says Peter Lindwurm of Hanse group. ‘Our customers want high-end products and this is something we can offer with Evoy. We are very happy to be onboard.’

Hanse Hungaria will display a sleek Ryck 280 demo boat powered by an Evoy Outboard Storm 300+ hp motor and two 63kWh batteries.

As restrictions on European lakes tighten, with a heightened focus on environmental protection and emissions reduction, boat dealers are gearing up for the rising demand in electric boating. Evoy looks forward to announcing more dealers in our growing global dealership network soon.
