Vision Marine Technologies, a manufacturer of electric boats and the E-Motion 180-hp electric outboard, has entered into a formal supplier agreement with French marine conglomerate Groupe Beneteau.
The agreement partners Vision Marine’s E-Motion 180E electric outboard and powertrain system with the broad reach of Groupe Beneteau. The first boat to be presented to Beneteau’s 72 dealers in the United States and the 400 around the world will be the Four Winns H2e.
“We are proud to enter into this strategic global supplier alliance with Groupe Beneteau,” Alex Mongeon, co-founder and CEO of Vision Marine Technologies, said in a statement. “This represents an exciting milestone and inflection point for Vision Marine and its shareholders. We look forward to sharing our mutual mandates and to assist Beneteau to expand its global carbon neutral goals via the electric transition of our global waterways. We expect our order book to show continuous growth as we approach the formal introduction of the H2e, as well as other offerings by Beneteau.”
