Marine engineering firm Ecomar Propulsion has partnered with the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) for a research and development (R&D) project aimed at bringing the manufacture of key parts used in zero emissions electric boats to the UK.
Funded by the Scottish Inward Investment Catalyst Fund, the project seeks to bring production to Scotland to overcome a global supply chain shortage of electric outboard motors, which are currently made in Japan.
Ecomar will tap into the knowledge of those at NMIS and the Future Electrical Machines Manufacturing Hub, which is leading research in electrical machines and manufacturing to put the UK at the forefront of green energy.
