The best of both worlds, now in one propulsion system. The VETUS Hybrid Set combines the quiet, relaxed experience of electric cruising with the proven power and range of diesel. Giving you the freedom to choose how you cruise, whenever the moment calls for it.

Why choose between electric and diesel when your boat can do both?

The VETUS Hybrid Set adds quiet electric cruising to the diesel power you already know. Glide through the marina in silence, enjoy the canals without the engine running, then let diesel take over when it’s time to pick up speed or head further.

  • Keep what works. Add what’s next.
    Already running a compatible VETUS M-Line 2-cylinder? Add hybrid capability without replacing your complete propulsion setup.
  • Repowering? Make it hybrid.
    If you’re renewing your propulsion system, it’s the perfect moment to add electric cruising from the start. The Hybrid Set is designed for both retrofit projects and new builds.
  • Hear the water, not the engine.
    Switch to electric for slow cruising and manoeuvring, giving you a quieter and more relaxed experience on board.
  • Let diesel do the heavy lifting.
    Electric is there for the moments where it makes sense. For higher speeds and longer journeys, your diesel engine is still ready to take you further.

Two ways to cruise. One boat. More freedom.
