time for change has come

The global commitment to a CO2-neutral society, established at the Paris Agreement in 2015, calls for immediate action. Recent global conflicts further emphasize that "Energy is King." The automotive industry has embraced electric mobility, driven by leading brands like Porsche, VW, and Audi under the VW Group.

Energy efficiency combined with renewable energy is the key success factor in this transition. The traditional combustion engine cycle, with a theoretical efficiency of 43% (and a real-world maximum of 38%), is being replaced by electric mobility systems achieving up to 90% efficiency. Following the automotive sector, the maritime industry is now poised for a similar transformation, leveraging a unique advantage: "Resistance decreases with speed," signified by the progression from "Displace > Glide > Foil." This approach resolves the apparent contradiction between speed and range, driving the innovative technology stack from eD-TEC. As speed increases, resistance decreases, enhancing range.

eD-TEC is focused on developing a comprehensive, high-performance 360-degree technology stack, seamlessly integrated from the water to the cloud. Systematic, data-driven development ensures continual annual improvements. Only a holistic technology approach can maximize system efficiency.

Horizontal System Approach: eD-TEC’s horizontal system strategy is the cornerstone of its success, integrating all components to optimize performance.
Optimized Design: The ideal combination of a perfect hull, lightweight materials, foils, and steps ensures optimal performance.
Integrated Operations: All elements, including the hull, propeller, and engine/gearbox, operate within their ideal range, ensuring peak efficiency across the system.
Plug & Play Solutions: Simple installation, operation, and maintenance are crucial for the boating industry, with data-driven, cloud-based controls providing seamless updates and upgrades over the air.
Self-Monitoring Security: A self-detecting security system ensures safety, availability, and a robust overhaul service concept.
High-Performance Energy Management: Delivers reliable, high power to the drives, ensuring optimal performance.
Advanced Charging Solutions: Fast and straightforward charging up to 150 kW DC, with flexible vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-car power transfers.
Solar Energy Integration: Solar energy supports both service functions and recreational use, enhancing sustainability.
Cloud-Based Connectivity: Ensures over-the-air updates and continually optimized systems, including reloading, healthcare, docking, and other advanced assistance functions, evolving each year.

eD-Technology Stack 360°

The Modular & Scalable Technology Platform.

The eD-QDrive is a revolutionary propulsion system, developed by eD-TEC. The Drive unit is fully integrated with safeguards, cooling, gearbox and controls.

Developed by leading experts in surface propulsion and electronics, the eD-QDrive offers ease of use, convenience and reliablility.

Plug & Play
The eD-QDrive is easy to install, maintain and replace due to its easy mounting system and plug&play interface. High-end materials like titanium drastically reduce maintenance demand.

Reliable & Safe
Through a vast range of safeguards and intelligent monitoring controllers, the eD-QDrive offers excellent safety. Built-in sensors further provide a range of data sources to enable predictive maintenance, to identify an issue before it is an issue.

100% Electric
The eD-QDrive is 100% Electric and, through high-end motors, very light and compact. This means all the torque you need in a compact and lightweight package.

eD-TEC RESORT

The Paradise on earth

Let’s build the future together

The world is not changed overnight, but let us start together! In the spirit of the electric transformation, we founded the young technology Start-Up "eD-TEC" which stands for "Electric Driven Technology." In the modern world of electric mobility, performance, comfort, and range do not have to be mutually exclusive anymore. Through the use of the most suited and latest propulsion, hull, battery, motor & charging technology, eD-TEC can provide the best system architecture for you! We offer a wide range of solutions to your vessel tailored to your mission. The time for change has come, be a part of the new Era!

Modular & Convenient

eD-TEC has developed a complete 360° technology stack for the maritime. The technology stack is modular, ranging from 50kW to 2400kW in system Performance. The eD-QDrive 1 is a fully integrated Plug&Play power unit that is designed for vessels up to 10 meters, providing up to 200kWc. eD-QDrive 2&3 will allow vessels up to 24 meters to be powered by eD-TEC in the near future. The eD-QDrive line is developed for the performant E-Mobility on the ocean. It utilizes the advantages of a surface piercing propulsion system to provide power and speed while operating in the most efficient envelope.

Robust & Reliable

The eD-QDrive is a reliable and robust power unit. The internal water cooling system guarantees the best operating temperature while keeping salt and rust outside through a titanium heat exchanger. Temperature, humidity, and vibration sensors keep track of every component, and the system will predict a component issue long before it becomes critical.
