RAD Propulsion Highlights Collaboration and Electric Marine Growth Opportunities

Dan Hook, CEO of RAD Propulsion, emphasizes the need for collaboration in the electric marine sector to drive growth. Founded in 2018, RAD Propulsion specializes in electric propulsion systems, launching the RAD 120 in November 2025 to address rising demand for high-power marine propulsion.

The company is expanding and focuses on defense and commercial markets, exporting nearly half of its production. Recent trends show increased use of HDPE and improved composite materials in boat design.

RAD Propulsion is actively building partnerships, including collaborations with Savvy Navvy and Seavolt in Australia. Hook notes challenges in regulation and compliance but believes the sector is underfunded compared to its societal value. He identifies battery technology advancement as crucial for future viability and calls for greater industry collaboration on sustainability infrastructure.
