Role

Technology provider

Pastel is our first fully electric prototype of its size. The project was partially funded by Innovation Norway. In this project Pascal has owned the entire process from product design, overseeing hull production, and in house assembly of the AirHull and drivetrain systems.

In 2022, Pascal reached a big milestone. With funding from Innovation Norway, we have designed and built an 8 meter fully electric prototype powered by our AirHull technology. The prototype has superior energy efficiency compared to traditional v-hulls, and will pave the way for cleaner and more efficient boats.

Increasing the range for electric boats

One of the biggest headaches for electric boats has been range. Our prototype increases the range in cruise speed compared to conventional electric boats.

8 m leisure prototype

Specs:

Length: 8 m
Beam: 2,6 m
Battery capacity: ~120 kWh
Cruise speed: 20 knots
Range in cruise speed: 40+ NM at planing speeds
Top speed: more than 30 knots

Story

During 2022 we designed and built the prototype, perfecting it to achieve maximum energy efficiency. We have managed the whole process from design, production, to system integration and implementation.
