ZPARQ

Zparq develops a patented electric propulsion system that is up to 10x smaller and lighter than conventional marine drivetrains, eliminating key components such as gearboxes and seals while improving efficiency and reliability. The company targets the fast-growing 5–40 kW segment across leisure boats and autonomous maritime systems using a single scalable platform. Its technology delivers higher range, lower maintenance, and reduced total cost of ownership, supported by a modular architecture that enables standardization across multiple applications. With 4 patent families, validated OEM collaborations, and initial commercial traction underway, Zparq is positioned to capture share in an underpenetrated market where less than 1% of boats are currently electrified.
