MEDIA RELEASE: RAD Propulsion teams up with Italian boatbuilder Navia Yachts on new electric vessel  

Navia Yachts has partnered with RAD Propulsion to unveil the new Navia N7, a revolutionary designed boat powered by a RAD 40 (60hp) electric drive.

This 7.3 meter vessel combines eco-friendly electric propulsion with integrated solar panels, ensuring quiet and sustainable cruising. Designed for versatility, the N7 offers a spacious layout and is equipped with a state-of-the-art helm. It integrates the latest navigation systems and digital technology.

The N7 continues Navi’s reputation of building world-class boats and the RAD 40 electric drive and integrated solar panels ensure quiet, eco-friendly navigation with extended range.

Guglielmo La Via Navia CEO said: “Navia is proud to partner with RAD propulsion on this boat. The RAD 40’s compact, modern styling and space saving design, with integrated steering and flush transom, made it the perfect fit for the N7. We have created a boat that offers a flexible and spacious layout, maximising comfort for leisure users.”

Dan Hook RAD Propulsion CEO said: “We’re delighted to be powering this innovative and stylish electric boat. The RAD 40 offers exceptional control and maneuverability, ensuring an intuitive and safe experience to users.”

RAD 40 key product benefits:

• Compact – smaller than its conventional equivalent and designed so that the motor doesn’t intrude into the vessel’s deck space. The outboard remains behind the transom when tilted up
• Accurate – exceptional control and maneuverability with full drive-by-wire controls and 180 degrees of steering available. Forget worrying about a tight berth on a windy day!
• Quiet – less noisy than internal combustion engines enabling you to immerse yourself in the environment around you
• Reliable – works every time and requires minimal maintenance, making dodgy fuel gauges and clogged filters a thing of the past
• Efficient  – reduced running costs when compared to fossil fuel powered systems and ready for use wherever and whenever you need it
• Ease of installation – its lightweight and neat form makes installation a breeze. No requirement for external steering gear and connections
