Vision Marine Technologies Files Patent for New Outboard PCU

Vision Marine Technologies Inc., a leader in electric marine propulsion, filed a patent for its new Outboard Power Control Unit (PCU). This development aims to enhance electric marine vessels by autonomously managing propulsion parameters and cooling operations. The PCU uses dual-CAN bus architecture, allowing seamless communication with internal sensors and external vessel control units. This autonomy increases performance and maintains safety standards.

The distributed control system reduces complexity, advancing modular design and reliable operation. Manufacturers can integrate additional components easily, aligning with Vision Marine's strategy of providing OEMs with turnkey electric powertrains.

The PCU optimizes power, torque, and cooling management to improve performance and efficiency. Safety mechanisms, such as a 12V power-state protection circuit, ensure continuous operation, extending component lifespan. The PCU also supports remote diagnostics, minimizing downtime and enhancing maintenance.

This innovation bolsters the E-Motion™ line, providing OEMs with high performance combined with simplicity and safety, while offering boaters a smooth experience.
