Engineering Excellence
At Amperetta, we are dedicated to delivering the lightest, smallest, and most efficient plug-in hybrid system for marine vessels. Our commitment to innovation drives us to innovate a sustainable future of boating.
How it works
Hybrid moduleThis is your drive that gives you propulsion besides your combustion engine (CE), in your in-board boat propulsion system. It runs in line with the CE on one shaft, for a parallel hybrid solution. It will be fitted between CE and gearbox or in other occasions CE and saildrive or z-drive. This way you can run Hybrid Mode with automatic transition between Electric Mode and Combustion Mode or pure electric and Combustion Mode. In Hybrid and Combustion Mode you have the benefit of regenerating power through the amperetta module into your batteries. |
Key Facts
|
InverterThis drives your amperetta Hybrid Module. It takes direct current from the batteries and converts it into the three-phase alternating current, the drive needs to perform it tasks. It works also the other way around and allows charging your batteries. |
Key Facts
|
OCCFor shore-charging your vessel and for conversion from high voltage to low voltage. |
Key Facts
|
PDUThis unit connects all high voltage componentsand includes all necessary safety monitoring and switching. |
Key Facts
|
HCU (Hybrid Control Unit)This is the overall „brain“ of the amperetta Hybrid-Drive system, it takes all information from every component, compute them and make them act accordingly. |
Key Facts

About
We envision a sustainable maritime future by innovating hybrid propulsion systems one boat at a time.
Founded in 2013 in Berlin, Germany, by Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Amperetta pioneers sustainable marine propulsion by harnessing advanced automotive technologies.
We are committed to minimizing global CO2 emissions and impending emission regulations one boat at a time by offering a plug-and-play fully integrated hybrid system for boats with inboard engines.
With a clear focus on addressing the impending regulations driving boats towards electric solutions, amperetta is at the forefront of revolutionizing marine propulsion.
Let us take you on a journey towards sustainable boating experiences.
