Our partnership with ePropulsion allows us to demonstrate how electric propulsion can perform reliably in demanding environments, all while reducing emissions across our operations. By integrating clean technologies into the day-to-day running of SailGP, we aim to help drive broader adoption across the marine sector."
ePropulsion Co-founder and CEO Danny Tao, said: "SailGP continues to set the standard for high performance, purpose driven sport, and we're proud to be continuing our partnership.
