History

In 2008, Steyr Motors presented the world's first parallel hybrid propulsion system for boats, STEYR HDS. In the same year, the company achieved numerous awards for this innovation (DAME Award at METS exhibition in Amsterdam[3] and the National Marine Manufacturers Association's IBEX Award[4]). In cooperation with the Dutch company Mastervolt, Steyr Motors is the leading manufacturer of hybrid propulsion systems for pleasure boats.[5]
