Rim Drive Technology: pioneers in electric mobility above and below water

Share:

Mistral Marine Solutions is proud to represent Rim Drive Technology (RDT) in the marine industry: a leader in electric mobility, both on the surface and underwater. 

Based in the Netherlands, RDT specializes in the development and manufacturing of marine electric motors and underwater electric motors ranging from 0.5 to 75 kW for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and underwater applications.

Many advantages

RDT’s strength lies in its ability to offer products that combine lightness, high efficiency, and compactness, making them compatible with many other brands in the sector. 

These marine electric motors stand out for their immediate response to acceleration, surpassing conventional solutions while eliminating harmful emissions, vibrations, and noise. 

A distinctive feature of these motors is the central shaft, which reduces the risk of entangling ropes or fishing nets, thereby minimizing maintenance requirements.

Testing and customization

Each RDT product undergoes rigorous testing at its own manufacturing facility before being distributed globally. 

In addition to motors, Rim Drive Technology provides a wide range of customizable complementary products, including batteries, monitors, throttle controls, motor controllers, and cables, all customized with their branding.

Attention to sustainability

RDT’s mission goes far beyond the production of high-quality hardware. The company is committed to green initiatives and to developing innovative solutions that address environmental challenges. Their technology helps reduce ecological impact, supporting the vision of a cleaner and more sustainable future.
