“This scalable system offers an adaptable and economical entry into hybrid technology, with operational profiles indicating a 30-50% fuel savings compared to conventional diesel-only powertrains.“
BYD-Naval Architects is excited to announce the release of their latest design, Project LOST AGENDA: a custom 48-foot hybrid-powered catamaran engineered for unrestricted ocean travel. Designed for a private client with a commitment to sustainable exploration, this innovative vessel represents a new standard in hybrid marine architecture, combining cutting-edge energy solutions with luxurious comfort for extended, ocean-going voyages.
This ocean-capable catamaran harnesses a hybrid propulsion system that utilises the efficiency of solar energy. The vessel’s advanced energy storage system allows the onboard solar panels to provide power for house systems, while also recharging the battery bank during lower-speed cruising. This scalable system offers an adaptable and economical entry into hybrid technology, with operational profiles indicating a 30-50% fuel savings compared to conventional diesel-only powertrains. The focus on long-term efficiency ensures reduced emissions, making it an ideal choice for environmentally-conscious travelers.
Key Features of Project LOST AGENDA:
- Hybrid Propulsion System: Combines solar and diesel power, optimized for extended ocean travel.
- Scalable Energy Storage: Allows for increased autonomy and lower operational costs.
- Significant Fuel Savings: Achieves up to 50% fuel savings, enhancing both range and sustainability.
- Luxurious Accommodations: A modern, spacious interior designed for ultimate comfort on long passages.
BYD-Naval Architects has designed LOST AGENDA to prioritize client needs while championing sustainable marine solutions. The interior reflects a sophisticated, contemporary style, with all the amenities needed for ocean-crossing comfort. The vessel’s robust structure and hybrid design make it ideally suited for explorers who value efficiency without compromising on the quality of their onboard experience.
BYD-Naval Architects remains at the forefront of innovation, blending client-centered design with advanced marine technology to create vessels that redefine modern naval architecture.
