As part of its drive to develop low-carbon recreational boating, Fountaine Pajot Group is strengthening its partnership with Alternatives \u00c9nergies by acquiring a majority stake in the company alongside Julian H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, its Managing Director, and EVE System, a long-standing partner.<\/p>\n
Alternatives \u00c9nergies has extensive experience in developing and integrating zero-emission and hybrid propulsion and energy systems for marine applications, including electro-solar-powered passenger ferries and tourist shuttles, hybrid multi-purpose barges, and hydrogen range extenders. For more than 20 years, Alternatives \u00c9nergies has been innovating to design clean, tailor-made solutions for passenger boats and workboats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Through this investment, Fountaine Pajot aims to give Alternatives \u00c9nergies access to the recreational boating market and leverage the unparalleled expertise of Julian H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, Managing Director, and his teams to accelerate its Odyssea corporate initiative, which targets carbon neutrality by 2030.
\nAlongside the acquisition, Fountaine Pajot has begun sea trials of its first electric catamaran developed in collaboration with Alternatives \u00c9nergies: the Aura 51, equipped with an electric propulsion system combining the expertise of Alternatives \u00c9nergies and Fountaine Pajot. Through this strategic partnership, Fountaine Pajot can offer its customers a complete, fully integrated electric solution, including the motor unit, battery bank, power electronics, and integrated management of onboard and propulsion systems. The boat will be unveiled to the world for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival. The Group\u2019s ambition is to gradually expand its offering to meet strong customer demand.<\/p>\n
