This is evidenced by the recent partnership between Volkswagen and Silent Yachts, an Austrian manufacturer of solar-powered boats, which intends to use VW's universal electric platform (MEB) in its future range, in principle created for electric cars.

Cupra (Seat's sports brand) is responsible for the design of the boats, while VW supplies the engines (2X50 kW, 2X150 kW or 2X300 kW), the batteries and the management of these.

Silent 55 - DR

Silent Yachts is also planning to install up to six battery packs per yacht, and aim for a capacity of 500 kWh for yachts 50 feet or more in length.

Capable of recharging with solar energy, the Austrian firm's boats are true concentrates of technology.

For example, the Silent 55 catamaran can travel up to 160 km per day thanks to the sun's rays!
