The announcement of Pochon's distribution of the ZeroJet card comes at a time when electric propulsion is gaining in importance in the boating industry. For boatyards, equipment manufacturers and sailors, this new step provides a local technical relay.
Pochon's strategic role in the boating industry
For over fifty years, Pochon has established itself as a key player in marine electronics and electricity in France. Its extensive network, covering the Atlantic seaboard as well as the Mediterranean and West Indies, enables it to offer direct technical support to boatyards and yachtsmen alike. Pochon's appointment as official distributor of the ZeroJet card strengthens this position and reinforces its role in the development of electrical solutions for pleasure boating.
The ZeroJet card, central to the propulsion system
At ZeroJet, the board is the heart of the electric waterjet system. It manages the motor, controls safety, communicates with other equipment and monitors technical parameters. In other words, it is the indispensable interface between the thruster, the battery and the user. By entrusting its distribution to a recognized player in the French market, ZeroJet is making its technology more accessible and easier to integrate for worksites and installers.
One of the main benefits of this partnership is the possibility of obtaining technical support in French, combined with local service. The availability of boards, spare parts and training provided by Pochon is an asset for construction sites and integrators. However, this organization will depend on Pochon's logistical capacity to maintain a regular stock and the speed with which teams are trained in the specific features of ZeroJet technology.
The players involved
This partnership is of direct interest to shipyards and integrators, who will be able to purchase the ZeroJet card and benefit from appropriate technical support. Dinghy and RIB builders are also concerned, since they now have an electric propulsion solution ready to be integrated into their models. Finally, boaters and rental professionals can count on local support for maintenance, upgrades and diagnostics, facilitating the adoption of this technology.
The distribution of the ZeroJet card by Pochon represents an important step in the development of electric propulsion on the French market. The card plays a central role in the operation of ZeroJet electric tenders, such as the OC 300, built in carbon fiber, weighing 139 kilograms with batteries, and capable of reaching a top speed of 20 knots with a range of 14 nautical miles at 3 knots. The integration of this type of system could accelerate the development of a more durable, silent and safe offer for tenders and small boats.
