On 17 February 2025, Seavolt and RAD Propulsion announced a strategic partnership to provide complete electric propulsion solutions to boat builders, ports, marinas, sporting organisations and governments in Australia and the Pacific.

The collaboration combines Seavolt's advanced marine charging technologies with RAD Propulsion's innovative electric propulsion systems to support the region's energy transition to sustainable solutions.

Seavolt is a major player in marine electrification, with charging networks already established in Australia and Singapore. The company offers marine charging stations ranging from 7 kW to 360 kW, capable of recharging workboats in a matter of minutes using 100% renewable solar energy power systems.

RAD Propulsion, based in the UK, specialises in electric propulsion with lightweight, high-performance motors, such as its flagship RAD 40, designed to reduce carbon emissions and provide an intuitive and efficient experience.

Dan Hook, CEO of RAD Propulsion, said:

‘This partnership with Seavolt is a key step in our mission to reduce carbon emissions in the marine industry. Together, we're delivering smarter, cleaner and more affordable power solutions.

For Chris Cudlipp, CEO of Seavolt, this partnership meets a growing need:

‘Our customers want to electrify their fleets, but few plug-and-play solutions with ultra-fast charging exist on the market. With RAD Propulsion, we can offer a comprehensive, high-performance solution.

The partnership is based on a combination of RAD 40 kW motors, long-range batteries and an intuitive control interface. The latter incorporates modern communication tools (GPS, Wi-Fi, GSM and NMEA) as well as a RADTag intelligent key system to simplify use and enhance safety.

With this collaboration, Seavolt and RAD Propulsion aim to lay the foundations for sustainable electric navigation, reducing noise, air and water pollution to promote a more environmentally-friendly maritime future.
