Navarc Places Hull Efficiency at the Center of Design in Electric Marine Vehicles

Navarc, Elektrikli Deniz Araçlarında Gövde Verimliliğini Tasarımın Merkezine Yerleştiriyor

The range debate in electric marine vehicles is often based on battery capacity.


However, according to Navarc's engineering approach, energy efficiency begins before the battery, in the boat's relationship with the water.


As a marine vessel moves, hydrodynamic resistances occur on the hull resulting from friction, pressure and wave formation.


A significant part of the power produced by the engine is used to overcome this resistance.


Therefore, a body that creates lower resistance can perform the same operational task with lower energy requirements.


This principle is the basis of Navarc's "Smart Hull Architecture" approach.


Body geometry is not only based on aesthetics or interior volume criteria; It is developed together with service speed, load distribution, route character and dispatch system.


Thanks to CFD analyses, different body geometries can be compared digitally before going into production.


Iterative improvements are made on the design by examining parameters such as body resistance, trim behavior and flow character.


This approach provides a significant advantage, especially in electric vehicles where battery weight and energy storage capacity are critical.


The goal is not to constantly use larger batteries.


The aim is to reduce the energy required by the boat at the design stage.


For this reason, Navarc considers electric propulsion not only as a power system choice, but as an integrated engineering problem starting from the hull architecture.
