Ultra-efficient electric boats pre-commercialisation

在过去的4年里，Optima一直在开发一系列超高效的电动游艇。这项工作得到了来自Innovate UK的3笔赠款的支持，其中包括2轮清洁海事示范竞赛。这些船基于一种创新的新船体形式，显著降低了能源消耗，并允许电池供电的续航里程达150英里。这比市场上任何其他同类游艇都要好得多。游艇将面向休闲市场，也将用于商业用途，如水上出租车。在过去4年的研发中，我们制造了一艘10米长的船原型，现在将进行海上试验和测试，然后用作示范。我们现在需要建立业务，离商业化更近一步。要实现商业化并将船投入生产，将需要进一步的投资，以支付工具、制造设置、营销和管理结构扩张的成本。这个商业化前项目将制定商业化战略和材料，如商业计划和摊位甲板，使我们能够吸引投资者。

Optima have spent the last 4 years developing a range of ultra-efficient electric boats. This work has been supported by 3 previous grants from Innovate UK including 2 rounds of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition.These boats are based around an innovative new hull form that significantly reduces energy consumption and allows a range of up to 150 miles under battery power. This is significantly better than any other comparable boats on the market.The boats will be aimed at the leisure market and also commercial applications as water taxis.During the last 4 years of R&D we have manufactured a prototype 10m long boat, which will now be subject to sea trials and testing and then be used as a demonstrator.We now need to build the business and move closer to commercialisation. To reach commercialisation and bring boats into production will require further investment to cover the costs of tooling, manufacturing setup, marketing and expansion of the management structure. This pre-commercialisation project will develop a commercialisation strategy and materials such as business plans and pitch decks to enable us to attract investors.
