The Four Winns H2e with Vision E-Motion 180hp powertrain system will be jointly marketed to Beneteau’s dealer network

Vision Marine Technologies has entered into a formal supplier agreement with Groupe Beneteau that will see the two companies jointly market the Four Winns H2e electric runabout with Vision E-Motion 180hp powertrain system to Beneteau’s dealer network.

Beneteau first announced plans to integrate Vision Marine’s high-power outboard motors on several of its boat models back in July.

“We are proud to enter into this strategic global supplier alliance with Groupe Beneteau,” says Alex Mongeon, co-founder and CEO of Vision Marine. ”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 global waterways,” he adds. “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.”

Xavier Montagne, COO and CTO of Vision Marine, says the company has developed a working and trusting relationship with the strategic management team of Groupe Beneteau. ”Our technical expertise in electrification and our experience in North American and European nautical markets are without any doubt the reason why we have been selected by Groupe Beneteau,” he says. ”We know being electric has been a long-standing wish and we are so proud to be the one to make it real.”

Vision Marine Technologies says its revolutionary electric outboard has undergone extensive testing and third party validation, both on and off the water, and is the perfect fit for the Four Winns H2e.
