Designed for shaft-drive vessels, both new builds and refit projects, the system combines high power, efficiency, intelligent functionality and ease of installation.
For boaters looking for a more efficient and environmentally responsible way to sail without compromising performance, the VETUS E-LINE 22 kW represents a high-power solution for a new generation of electric boating.
Superior boating performance
The VETUS E-LINE 22 kW delivers the benefits of electric propulsion where they matter most: responsiveness, smooth acceleration and precise control.
Thanks to instant torque, the electric motor provides immediate power once underway, allowing smooth and responsive acceleration. When deceleration is required, the system reacts immediately, contributing to a controlled and comfortable boating experience.
The combination of power and precise response makes the E-LINE 22 kW suitable for boaters who want the advantages of electric propulsion while retaining a high level of performance.
Smart sailing with integrated technology
The E-LINE 22 kW has been engineered around a modular and fully integrated architecture. Its self-monitoring capabilities and smart functions are designed to simplify operation while helping users make the most of the available energy.
The system incorporates advanced technology throughout the propulsion package, providing a straightforward user experience while maintaining the flexibility required for different vessel configurations.
Its modular approach also means that the system can be adapted and upgraded over time, allowing boat owners to develop their electric propulsion setup according to their needs.
Easy installation and refit
One of the key features of the VETUS E-LINE 22 kW is its compact design and installation flexibility.
The electric motor can be mounted on almost any existing engine foundation, making it particularly suitable for refit applications. This approach can simplify the transition from conventional propulsion to electric propulsion without requiring extensive modifications to the vessel’s existing installation.
The system is also backwards compatible with the current stern-gear installation, further supporting its integration into existing shaft-drive vessels.
For boat owners considering an electric boat refit, this combination of compact dimensions, installation flexibility and compatibility can make the transition to electric propulsion more accessible.
Lower operating costs
Electric propulsion can also provide benefits beyond performance and environmental considerations.
The efficient design of VETUS electric motors helps reduce everyday running expenses through lower maintenance requirements and reduced operational costs. With fewer maintenance-intensive components than conventional propulsion systems, electric technology can contribute to a simpler and more efficient ownership experience.
The E-LINE 22 kW therefore combines propulsion performance with an approach focused on long-term efficiency.
Ready for green zones
Across Europe, an increasing number of areas are becoming green zones where only electric boats are permitted to operate. This trend is creating new requirements for boat owners who want to maintain access to environmentally sensitive or restricted areas.
With its 22 kW output, the VETUS E-LINE system provides the power required for high-performance electric boating while supporting emission-free navigation in areas where conventional propulsion may no longer be permitted.
Electric propulsion can therefore provide not only an environmental advantage but also greater freedom to explore destinations where access is increasingly regulated.
Advanced technology and convenience
In addition to the increased power output, the E-LINE 22 kW incorporates the advanced technology and convenience features already developed for the E-LINE range.
Its modular design architecture allows boaters to upgrade their system at their own pace. Different options are available for control levers, shunt and displays, making it possible to tailor the system to the vessel and the owner’s preferred operating experience.
The result is an electric propulsion platform that can evolve with the boat rather than requiring a fixed configuration from the outset.
Sailing Assist for efficient operation
Intelligent boating is supported by the Sailing Assist firmware, developed to optimise propulsion efficiency while maintaining comfortable and predictable vessel behaviour.
The system is designed to support smooth acceleration, efficient sailing and controlled emergency stopping. By integrating these functions into the propulsion system, VETUS aims to make electric boating both easier to operate and more intuitive.
Making the most of the battery bank
Battery management is another fundamental element of electric propulsion. The latest range-management technologies integrated into the VETUS E-LINE 22 kW are designed to help boaters make the most of their available battery capacity in different operating conditions.
Efficient use of stored energy is essential to maximise autonomy and optimise the overall performance of an electric propulsion system. The combination of the electric motor, intelligent controls and range-management technology therefore plays an important role in delivering a practical boating experience.
A high-power solution for electric boating
With the introduction of the E-LINE 22 kW, VETUS expands its electric propulsion portfolio with its highest-output electric motor to date.
The system combines 22 kW of power with instant torque, compact dimensions, flexible installation, modular architecture, intelligent controls and compatibility with existing stern-gear installations. These features make it suitable for both new vessels and refit projects.
As electric boating continues to develop and green zones become increasingly common, high-power electric propulsion systems such as the VETUS E-LINE 22 kW can play an important role in making efficient, practical and more sustainable boating accessible to a wider range of vessels.
