The press release states that Zurich-based company c.technology is a provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud infrastructure for powersport vehicles. The two companies plan to develop smart motors together. The smart software system is to be presented at the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) in Amsterdam in November.
Integrating cloud technology into the electric drive systems of boats is said to be a milestone in the mission to make boating more sustainable, enjoyable, and easy to use.
