VED Product Overview

Reliable Inboard Propulsion Solution

The VED (Variable Electric Drive) is a compact transmission module designed for small full‑electric vessels (new build or retrofit). Key mechanical features include a dual‑gear reduction, integrated thrust bearing and an AVR damping system to reduce vibration and wear during high‑speed operation. The unit is intended to be integrated into our U‑Driver transmission layout, freeing valuable engine room footprint and increasing design flexibility.

Highly Integrated

Compact 3‑in‑1 assembly: gearbox + permanent‑magnet eMotor + DC/AC converter. Optional VULKAN flexible coupling.

Reduced Vibration

AVR damping and resilient mounts (VULKAN) minimise transmitted vibration to structure and hull.

Stable & Reliable

Dual‑gear reduction with built‑in thrust bearing provides long service life under variable loading.

Space Saving

U‑shape transmission reduces engine room footprint compared with separate motor/gearbox arrangements.
