RAD Propulsion is returning to METS Trade 2025 with a new high-power electric drive system designed for the next generation of vessels. The UK-based innovator is bringing practical electrification to commercial and leisure marine sectors with smarter, scalable propulsion technology.
As the maritime industry continues to chart a course toward cleaner operations, British manufacturer RAD Propulsion is stepping up with another addition to its electric drive lineup. The company announced that it will unveil a new product at METS Trade 2025 in Amsterdam this November, aiming to meet growing demand for more powerful and flexible electric propulsion solutions.
Building on the success of its established RAD 40 system, the new product will target vessels that require greater thrust and endurance. The company says it is designed to meet the operational demands of both commercial and leisure markets, while maintaining RAD’s focus on modular design and easy integration.
“We’re excited to be returning to METS with what we believe will be a significant event for RAD Propulsion,” said Dan Hook, CEO of RAD Propulsion. “This launch represents our response to clear market demand for scalable, high-performance electric drive systems that don’t compromise on installation flexibility or operational capability.”
The company will also showcase its Power Console in the METS Innovation Zone, described as an “all-in-one propulsion solution” that gives attendees a hands-on experience of its integrated technology. Visitors can also expect a preview of RAD’s new mobile application, designed to give users better control and monitoring of their propulsion systems.
In a nod to the company’s active R&D pipeline, RAD will also hint at another upcoming development set to expand its portfolio further.
Pete Byford, Chief Technology Officer at RAD Propulsion, will take part in a panel discussion on Wednesday, 19 November, from 15:30 to 16:00 on the METS Trade Stage. He will join other experts to explore “What are the main factors behind better noise, vibration performance, and is there a real example that proves it?”
RAD’s electric propulsion systems are already known for delivering zero-emission performance without compromising on reliability or power. With modular integration options for different battery configurations, the company continues to position itself as one of the few developers bridging practicality and sustainability in the push toward smarter, cleaner marine propulsion.
