X Shore and Bosch Engineering to develop new electric drive system for the X Shore 1

X Shore and Bosch Engineering, a subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH (https://www.bosch-engineering.com/), have joined forces in an exciting collaboration to enhance the performance and efficiency of the electric drive system in the X Shore 1. This collaboration brings together two companies with a shared commitment to sustainability, working towards a greener future for marine vessels.

The collaboration between X Shore and Bosch Engineering signifies their dedication to pushing the boundaries of engineering excellence in the electric boating industry. By actively seeking partnerships with innovative companies, X Shore continues to drive progress and propel the electric boating movement forward. Both X Shore and Bosch Engineering share a deep commitment to sustainability, with a common vision of reducing emissions and creating a greener world.

Bosch Engineering's state-of-the-art technology and automotive expertise play a vital role in the development of the X Shore 1 electric drive system. The X Shore 1 already boasts Bosch's largest motor on the market for leisure boat applications, along with the Bosch inverter and gearbox developed by Bosch Rexroth. These components offer power, reliability and compactness, aligning perfectly with X Shore's goal of delivering high-performance electric boats to the market.

Certified as one of the most sustainable manufacturers in the world by independent auditor Shades of Green (part of S&P Global), X Shore is committed to a net-zero future through its innovative technology, research, design, and sustainable materials. By eliminating the harmful noise and emissions associated with fossil-fuel engines, X Shore enables passengers to explore the world's oceans and lakes in an eco-friendly manner.

Jenny Keisu, CEO of X Shore, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "At X Shore, we are always seeking innovative collaborations to advance our mission of a more sustainable boating industry and a greener world. By joining forces with other innovative companies, big and small, we can push the boundaries of what's possible. Our commitment to constant innovation drives us to seek partnerships that enable us to learn from each other, share knowledge, and leverage collective expertise. We are excited to support Bosch Engineering in strengthening their sustainability mission, and together, we will introduce a cutting-edge electric drive system technology to the new X Shore 1, providing an unparalleled boating experience."

Dr. Johannes-Jörg Rüger, President at Bosch Engineering GmbH, expressed pride in the collaboration, saying, "At Bosch, we are heavily investing in sustainable technologies and have long pursued sustainability as a core value. By partnering with X Shore, we have found a passionate partner that shares our environmental commitment. I am delighted that Bosch Engineering can contribute to accelerating X Shore's sustainable serial production approach by sharing our experience in series production and providing automotive-proven high-performance components."

This deeper collaboration between X Shore and Bosch Engineering marks the beginning of Bosch's electrification journey into the leisure boat segment. X Shore, as a sustainability pioneer in the boating industry, has been carefully selected as part of this pilot project. The collaboration aims to enhance and develop the electric drive system of the X Shore 1, improving power through lightweight design, increasing efficiency through optimized design and software, facilitating easy integration into existing systems with space-saving design, and reducing maintenance efforts to save time and costs.
