🚤 Boatbuilder Spotlight | Highfield
This month, we're shining a light on Highfield, one of the innovative boatbuilders working with ePropulsion systems to bring efficient, electric propulsion to life on the water.
🔧 The build: Highfield Patrol 460
⚡ Powered by: 1 x X20 Electric Outboard Motor-XL
Total Power: 20.0 kW
🌊 Built for: Safety boat, harbour patrol craft or rescue boat
The Highfield Patrol 460 features a durable aluminium deep-V hull with inflatable Hypalon or PVC tubes, creating a lightweight yet robust platform that delivers stability, buoyancy and a dry ride even in challenging conditions. Instead of conventional petrol or diesel engines, this boat is powered by an ePropulsion X20 electric outboard motor, a 20 kW system paired with a battery pack that provides quiet, zero-emission propulsion with cruising speeds of around 10–11 knots and a top speed of about 14 knots.
We're proud to be supporting Highfield as they push the boundaries of what's possible with electric power.
