We are happy to participate in another great show in our home country The Netherlands. Boot Holland in Leeuwarden. Those who love water sports can indulge themselves at Boot Holland. And we are there to talk electrification with them!

Our next stop will be the BoatLife Events show in Birmingham from 16-19 February. The decarbonization of boats in the UK is picking up speed, so come and meet the Propel team to talk about the electrification of your rib, powerboat, or narrowboat.

Pizza, beers and progress! At Propel we regularly organise our famous pizza parties with the team. An informal moment to not only enjoy delicious pizza’s together, but also a moment wherein we update each other on the current developments and cheers on the achieved results.

Yes, we’re coming to Finland! While the sales team is busy following up on all leads from a successful boot Düsseldorf, we are also preparing us for our first time visit to Vene 23 Båt Helsinki at Messukeskus, Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. We will visit the show on Friday 10 February, from 11 am – 7 pm.

Happy new year all! Propel is headed to the boot Düsseldorf marine tradeshow in Düsseldorf from January 21st - 29th and we’re ready to share our revolutionary electric inboard and outboard motors with you! Our whole team will be there, so come talk to our engineers and sales team, get informed about our product lineup, and join us for a good conversation about decarbonizing the marine industry.

We organised our first media event just before METSTRADE and invited journalists to meet our team, tour the lab and proto-shop and of course, we concluded the visit with some test drives.

From 15 - 17 November, Propel will be exhibiting at the METSTRADE trade show in the RAI Amsterdam. METSTRADE is the world's largest trade exhibition for marine equipment, materials and systems. It's held annually in our hometown, City of Amsterdam, and attracts over 22,000 visitors from more than 100 countries. We're excited to be a part of it.

The Hiswa te Water 2022 was nice and busy with lots of sun. A nice breeze and sailing around with our electric sloop, of course, helped to bear the heat. There is a growing demand for electric boating and our team was constantly busy informing interested parties about the possibilities.

For years, diesel was the standard in both leisure and commercial marine. But in recent years several scandals have taught us that its days as the go-to fuel have counted. Many car brands have been found guilty for tampering of emission control systems and successively consumers lost their appetite for diesel powered cars. In the Netherlands and Germany, countries that both traditionally see a large diesel market share, sales have plummeted. New diesel car registrations fell from around 30% to less than 5%.

More than 50% of the world population lives in cities, and this number is expected to rise to 68% by 2050. Air pollution is responsible for decreasing the world population’s life span by more than two years. With a European initiative, cities will try to drastically reduce their carbon emissions by 2030. Creating cleaner and healthier cities for its citizens. Electrifying boats will play a part in this.

When we started developing the Propel S1 electric outboard motor early 2021 we knew that design would play an important role in the success of our young brand. After all, most boat owners spent a fair amount of time to spec their boat and choose the right materials and colours.

Come and meet our team at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in RAI Amsterdam - stand 1308 - to talk about our solutions to decarbonize the leisure marine industry and enjoy boating in a more peaceful way.

Since electric cars and e-bikes are dominating the streets more and more, it is almost a shame that our beloved waterways and canals still seem to lack behind. Even though, there are several reasons why electric propulsion for leisure marine crafts might be the better choice.

Thank you all for visiting us at METSTRADE 2021! What a thrill to finally launch our in-home built Propel S1 outboard motor and Propel D1 inboard powertrain, designed specifically to replace ageing diesel engines.
