e-Motion Hybrid Systems
ILIAD Catamarans has officially introduced advanced e-Motion Hybrid technology across our entire fleet of motor yachts, marking a leap into a new era of sustainable, whisper-quiet exploration.
Now available on the ILIAD 53F, ILIAD 53S and ILIAD 60, with the full capability incorporated into the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid, this revolutionary parallel hybrid system delivers an unmatched combination of autonomy, efficiency and environmental responsibility. Whether you’re gliding silently through a secluded anchorage or crossing oceans with confidence, e-Motion transforms every journey into a more refined and responsible adventure.
At the heart of this innovation is a meticulously engineered system that seamlessly blends diesel and electric propulsion. Owners can switch effortlessly between modes—maintaining redundancy, safety and complete peace of mind even in remote regions.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
- Main propulsion diesel and e-Motion electric engines
- Lithium-ion battery banks
- Isolation transformers, inverters, and a liquid-cooled DC Bus
- LCD touchscreens with intuitive PMS software
- RINA-type approval for both private and commercial use
And that’s just the beginning. Each ILIAD hybrid catamaran is fitted with an expansive solar array, unlocking fuel savings and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Without the need for a generator onboard, there are savings on standard servicing and maintenance costs, as well as reduced engine hours. The savings quickly add up, not just in cost, but in carbon emissions and noise pollution too.
AN OCEAN OF advantages
Run your entire hybrid catamaran’s house load (including air conditioning and appliances etc) for over 24 hours on battery power alone. Recharge your entire battery bank in just 30 minutes using one of the e-Motion electric motors/generators.
Enjoy absolute tranquility at anchor and overnight, with all onboard systems running silently without the need for a standard generator.
On a typical 90-day cruising season, ILIAD hybrid catamaran owners can expect up to 75% fewer hours on main engines, translating to extraordinary reductions in maintenance and operating costs.
Go even further with the extended range available when using electric propulsion, and switch propulsion modes at the touch of a button.
Swim off the transom without exhaust fumes and enjoy the serenity of your surroundings while protecting marine life and oceans.
From coastal cruising to long-range passage-making, ILIAD’s hybrid catamarans deliver performance, real-world savings and luxurious peace of mind. It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a redefinition of what it means to cruise in style and sustainability.
