While Cupra is characterised by its contemporary sportiness and emotional design, Volkswagen offers its state-of-the-art modular electric drive matrix (MEB) contributing to e-mobility and reduced emissions; and SILENT-YACHTS brings over fifteen years of experience in alternative power sources for yachts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">Volkswagen opened up its MEB for third parties. The innovative approach of the maritime project offers furthers possibilities to tap into new areas of cooperation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">A sustainable initiative<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">The new solar electric catamaran will offer noiseless navigation and unlimited cruising range with alternative propulsion systems. Such new experience of nature and water sports will be possible thanks to the solar electric power system developed by SILENT-YACHTS, which feeds the electric propulsion of the vessel and all its household energy needs. All in all, the catamaran will grant more comfort, independence, reliability and safety with less maintenance and costs than any conventional fuel-depending propulsion and energy-supply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">A lifestyle world<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">CUPRA is showing its emotional design competencies on the streets and at sea, adding its contemporary touch and sporty approach to this unique project along with SILENT-YACHTS, the world\u2019s first and only manufacturer of oceangoing yachts that are fully sustainable and powered by solar energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SILENT-YACHTS will develop a solar electric catamaran which is powered by Volkswagen\u00b4s modular electric drive matrix MEB.
