Dufour Yachts Electric Hybrid Propulsion System

Visit Universal Yachting on Stand M538 to explore the Ultimate Electric Hybrid Sailing Experience offered by Dufour Yachts.

JOOOL Energy, part of the Fountain Pajot / Dufour Yachts Group has over 25 years of experience supplying electric hybrid power solutions to hundreds of vessels, primarily in commercial sectors.

Now, with a focus on the leisure market, JOOOL has developed a fully integrated, turnkey hybrid system designed specifically for sailing yachts, including both monohulls and catamarans.

Key Advantages Over Conventional Diesel Engines:

  • Silent Propulsion
    Enjoy quiet, vibration-free movement with immediate torque response. Navigate sensitive or protected areas without emissions or noise, ensuring environmentally friendly and peaceful sailing.
  • Enhanced Performance in Light Winds
    When the breeze drops, apply a small amount of electric power to maintain speed and enjoy smooth, silent, emission-free “motor” sailing.
  • Lower Operating Costs
    Reduce maintenance and servicing costs compared to traditional diesel engines, making your yacht more cost effective to operate.
  • Extended Range and Increased Autonomy
    Designed to harness renewable energy sources like solar, hydro, or wind, which help recharge the batteries and minimise reliance on generators or marina power, ideal for long passages.
  • Enhanced Safety
    The electric motor can operate directly from batteries or be powered by the generator. With wind and two additional power sources, you enjoy increased safety and propulsion options when needed.
  • Everyday Comfort and Convenience
    With an extended energy capacity, the system supports continuous operation of onboard amenities, such as air conditioning, cooking appliances, lighting, and more, without compromise or interruption.

Experience the future of sailing with a system that combines performance, sustainability, and onboard comfort seamlessly.

Electric Hybrid is Available on the Dufour 41, 44, 48 & 54

Join us at stand M535, M537, M538, M539, M541 from September 19 – 28 to explore the future of sailing with Dufour Yachts.
