Hybrid Electric solutions for the marine industry offer a high efficiency alternative to conventional marine propulsion. It leverages the high torque of the UQM PowerPhase system for displacement speed, improved maneuverability, while reducing noise, emissions and vibration. UQM works with various Marine Integrators to create Marine Propulsion and Generation systems for the marine industry that offer reduced noise, emissions and operating costs. UQM has set world records with the PowerPhase products and brings automotive grade systems to the marine marketplace.

Other benefits include:
- Marine sector is by far biggest polluter, and savings can be realized with a significant reduction in pollution
- High speed optimization, in hybrid mode
- Decreases planing time
- Downsizing of diesel engine(s), reducing cost and weight
- UQM machines also serve as generators which leads to system redundancy for both electrical generation and get home propulsion
