Danny Tao, CEO of ePropulsion commented: “When we launched ePropulsion we had a clear mission to become the global leader in marine electric propulsion systems and services, and to be at the very forefront of the marine industry across the world. It is a real honor to celebrate a decade of excellence and expansion. I want to take this opportunity to thank our team and worldwide partners in helping to achieve this momentous occasion as we continue to take great leaps with our boating technology and continue to be pioneers in the industry, known for exceptional innovation, product quality and performance.”

Following the successful 2021 launch of the ePropulsion Evo Series of electric outboards, this year ePropulsion launched the H-100 and I-Series electric inboard engines. To support the continuous expansion of product line and business, Jasper Cheng was hired as Overseas Sales Director.

Cheng graduated with a degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and joined the company with a decade of experience in exploring and operating in international markets. His responsibilities at ePropulsion cover overseas channel sales management and customer success management.

Embracing the new decade, ePropulsion officially moved into its new corporate headquarters and factory on 17th December 2022. This new 10,000 m2 facility will increase the company’s production capability to match its explosive growth over the past several years.

The company has also renewed its commitment to sustainability initiatives, such as its #partnership with SailGP, the global sailing league and the first climate-positive sports and entertainment event with the goal of accelerating the transition to clean energy. With a shared mission, ePropulsion worked in partnership with SailGP to provide 11 electric outboard motors for the league’s event support tenders in Season 2 and Season 3 with ePropulsion Spirit and Navy motors selected to power SailGP Inspire support boats, SailGP’s community, education and outreach initiative. During Season 2, ePropulsion also supported SailGP to establish a comprehensive fleet monitoring program. The continuous partnership has helped SailGP to reduce its support boat fleet emissions by an average of 10% per event.

Years of efforts in sustainability resulted in ePropulsion UK winning the first MDL Green Innovator Award, presented at the second annual Green Tech Boat Show this year. The Show created the Green Innovator Award in 2022 to recognize the products and services at the show which are truly pioneering in sustainable innovation and design. ePropulsion was also this year’s recipient of the Environmental Pioneer Annual Awards at the Asian Marine & Boating Awards 2022.

These accolades add to ePropulsion’s collection of awards for product innovation, including the German IF Design Award in 2015, the Deloitte-Hong Kong Technology Fast Company in 2019, Best Technology Innovation Award at the Shanghai International Boat Show in 2021, the Equipment Innovation of the Year category winner at the British Yachting Awards 2021 and the 2021 Innovation Award at the China Yacht Awards.
