Hybrid Marine has been developing advanced hybrid systems since 2002, providing systems for inland canal boats, commercial barges and sailing boats, including fast offshore sailing catamarans.

Our award-winning patented parallel hybrid systems result from extensive research and provide an integrated power and propulsion solution; our systems have found many applications and are well-proven.

With an increasing demand from boatbuilders generated by Hybrid Marine, the company recognised the need to upscale. A new joint venture between Barrus and Hybrid Marine, Hybrid Marine International, was created in January 2024.

The two companies' successful fourteen-year partnership provided a compelling case for the next step in Hybrid Marine’s journey building on the combined hybrid propulsion system expertise and Barrus’s extensive engineering facility based in Bicester, Oxfordshire. This will enable an accelerated road map of product development, bespoke applications and the ability to develop further the integration with other world-leading partners such as WhisperPower.

Hybrid Marine International will continue to provide custom packages to OEM boat builders in the UK and worldwide who wish to offer hybrid technology to their customers requiring new boat builds in the leisure and commercial markets.
