The Fort Worth Press - Vision Marine Technologies Strengthens E-Motion(TM) Line With New Outboard PCU Patent Filing

MONTRÉAL, QC / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the "Company," "Vision Marine," or "Vision Marine Technologies") (Nasdaq:VMAR), a company specializing in electric marine propulsion, announces the filing of a new patent application for the Outboard Power Control Unit (PCU) designed for Electric Marine Vessels.

Strategic Advancements in Electric Marine Propulsion

The Outboard PCU's distributed control system reduces the complexity typically associated with electric marine propulsion. Its modular design advances reliable operation and simplifies scalability, allowing manufacturers to integrate additional components without significant redesign. This advancement aligns with Vision Marine Technologies' strategic objective of providing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with turn-key, industrialized electric powertrain products that are easy to integrate and deploy.

Key Features and Outcomes of the Outboard Power Control Unit (PCU)

The Outboard PCU offers autonomous management of power, torque, and cooling, fostering optimal performance under various operational conditions. This autonomy provides boaters with a seamless and responsive boating experience, reducing manual adjustments and enhancing overall efficiency. Advanced safety mechanisms, including a 12V power-state electronic protection circuit, prevent complete power-down of the motor until safe temperature thresholds are met, enhancing continuous safe operation and extending component longevity. The PCU's optimized efficiency comes from dynamic torque and cooling adjustments in real-time based on battery capacity and temperature feedback. This not only reduces energy consumption but also prolongs motor life, providing OEMs with durable and cost-effective solutions. Furthermore, the PCU supports remote diagnostics and firmware updates via the external CAN bus, which minimizes downtime and enhances operational flexibility, offering both OEMs and end-users a product designed for long-term reliability and easy maintenance.

Positioned for Market Impact

The Outboard PCU significantly strengthens the E-Motion™ propulsion line by offering superior control and safety features essential for the growing electric marine market. Complementing the E-Motion 180e powertrain, this innovation provides OEMs with a comprehensive solution that balances high performance with operational simplicity and safety, while offering boaters a quiet, powerful, and worry-free boating experience.
