Continued engineering and technology development advances the E-Motion™ platform’s reliability, integration and service architecture
, /PRNewswire/ — Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR; TSXV: VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), a marine technology company and vertically integrated recreational boating platform, today announced the delivery and acceptance of electronic control unit (“ECU”) assemblies manufactured by Circuits Central Inc. (“Circuits Central”) for use within the Company’s E-Motion™ high-voltage electric marine propulsion platform.
Circuits Central has completed and delivered ECU assemblies supporting ten E-Motion™ powertrains. Vision Marine has completed incoming inspection of the delivered assemblies, which have been accepted for use within the Company’s E-Motion™ production and integration activities.
The completed production work forms part of Vision Marine’s ongoing system-level engineering and technology-development initiatives across the E-Motion™ platform. High-voltage marine propulsion requires the coordinated performance of mechanical, electrical, thermal, software and control-system components in demanding on-water conditions. The ECU architecture supports critical control, communications and monitoring functions within that broader system.
As Vision Marine continues to advance E-Motion™ integrations, the Company remains focused on strengthening the quality, repeatability and serviceability of the platform at each stage of development and production. Utilizing specialized electronics manufacturing capability for critical control-electronics assemblies is intended to support more consistent component production, testing, traceability and integration across different vessel configurations.
Circuits Central is an established electronics manufacturing and product-development services provider with more than 25 years of experience in printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly, prototyping, testing and quality assurance. The company states that it has supported customers ranging from technology startups to established S&P 500 companies and supports projects from prototype development through production runs exceeding 10,000 units. Circuits Central also states that its processes align with ISO and IPC industry guidelines.
“We’ve spent decades building and supporting electronic assemblies where quality and consistency matter, and we’re pleased to bring that experience to Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ platform,” said Hooman Javdan, Owner and Managing Director of Circuits Central. “Marine propulsion demands a high bar for quality, so our focus is to deliver electronics assemblies with the traceability, consistency and responsiveness needed to support Vision Marine’s production and integration work. We appreciate the opportunity and look forward to supporting the continued evolution of the E-Motion™ platform.”
“E-Motion™ is a complete marine propulsion system, and system reliability depends on the quality and coordination of every critical component—not only the motor or battery,” said Dan Rathe, Chief Technology Officer of Vision Marine Technologies. “The platform continues to evolve through the refinement of the mechanical, electrical, thermal, software and control systems that work together on the water. The use of experienced electronics manufacturing capability for ECU assemblies supports the component quality, traceability and repeatability required to continue advancing E-Motion™ as a dependable, integration-ready propulsion system designed specifically for marine applications.”
Vision Marine has developed E-Motion™ as a purpose-built high-voltage propulsion platform for marine applications. The Company has previously disclosed E-Motion™ integrations across more than 25 boat platforms and 13 boat brands, including pontoon, catamaran, center-console and bowrider applications.
Circuits Central’s manufacture of ECU assembly’s forms part of Vision Marine’s broader effort to advance E-Motion™ through component validation, production-process refinement, OEM integration and service development. Together with the Company’s engineering activities, manufacturer relationships and Nautical Ventures retail and service platform, these initiatives are intended to reinforce the technical and operational foundation supporting the continued deployment of E-Motion™-equipped boats.
