Electric outboard system manufacturer ExploMar has announced new distribution agreements in Hungary and Germany, extending its sales and support network in Europe.
The Chinese manufacturer has been expanding its presence in markets where environmental regulation is increasingly influencing propulsion choices. In November 2025, ExploMar raised more than $10m in new financing, marking a significant milestone in the company’s international growth.
In Hungary, ExploMar has entered into a cooperation agreement with Summer Wind Kft., appointing the company as its authorised distributor. The arrangement covers inland waterways, including Lake Balaton, where boating activity is subject to environmental regulations that limit emissions and noise.
“By working with Summer Wind Kft., we are building a local foundation that allows customers to better understand, experience and adopt high-performance electric propulsion with confidence,” says Alex Dong, CEO of ExploMar.
Laszlo Acsai, CEO of Summer Wind Kft., adds: “Together with ExploMar, we look forward to enabling more people to explore electric boating and understand its benefits through real-world applications.”
In Germany, ExploMar has appointed Yacht & Technik GmbH as its distributor, granting exclusive distribution rights across Freistaat Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Thüringen, Saarland and Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Yacht & Technik GmbH has purchased ExploMar’s Wave 150+ electric outboard system and completed sea trials on Lake Chiemsee. According to the companies, the trials assessed the system’s operation under conditions typical of Germany’s inland waterways, where regulatory frameworks increasingly favour low-noise and emissions-free propulsion.
Raimund Friedrich, CEO of Yacht & Technik GmbH, says: “We are pleased to work with ExploMar to distribute high-performance electric propulsion systems in Germany. The performance demonstrated during the Lake Chiemsee trials gives us strong confidence in this partnership and in the future of electric boating.”
ExploMar reports that it now works with distributors in more than 20 countries and regions worldwide.
