ExoTechnologies, headquartered on the Isle of Man and the owner of Ultimate Boats in Glasgow, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Arizona-based hydrogen vehicle manufacturer, RONN. This collaboration focuses on developing innovative clean hydrogen electric propulsion systems for commercial, tactical, and military high-performance watercraft.
Shane Mugan, CEO of ExoTechnologies, emphasized the strategic move towards decarbonization following the signing of a letter of intent. This initiative builds on the success of Ultimate Boats’ first fully recyclable workboat made from the patented DANU™ composite material, delivered to Police Scotland last year. “We are very excited to announce our new partnership with a pioneer like the RONN,” Mugan stated. “We share an outlook and passion for driving decarbonization. We are aiming to develop a clean hydrogen electric propulsion solution for our boats. This new system will propel our recyclable high-performance craft into a new era of marine technology.”
Ronn Ford, Chairman & CEO of RONN, also expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration’s potential: “The power of our collaboration with ExoTechnologies is in our shared vision of creating a sustainable future through innovative propulsion solutions. Together, we will strive to help drive the marine industry’s transformation, leaving behind a legacy of clean energy and inspiring change for generations to come.”
This partnership has already seen accolades, with Ultimate Boats’ creation for Police Scotland named Patrol Boat of the Year at the recent Work Boat World Awards, highlighting the effectiveness and promise of these innovative marine solutions.
