 Our vision Forging the Future of Mobility

As the energy transition accelerates in the automotive world,

the commitment to sustainability in the marine industry is just
setting sail.
Just as whales gracefully navigate the oceans, our vision is to channel our energy
and passion towards developing solutions that will sail us towards a better world, Recognizing the impossible batteries challenge for immediate
preserving the ecosystems and peace in the vast expanse of the seas. widespread adoption of electric mobility, BlueNav has focused
on addressing current mobility challenges by developing
alternative solutions with hybrid propulsion. Designed for
boaters and professional vessels, BlueNav motors allow any
type of boat to be converted into a hybrid electric vessel,
today.

Our engineers have risen to the challenge of embracing the

energy transition by envisioning a comprehensive ecosystem
centered around clean energy and propulsion. This innovative
mobility in the boating world combines performance, comfort,
and environmental responsibility.

We bring a concrete response to the energy

transition challenges in the boating industry
by offering an alternative solution through
hybridization.

BlueNav offers an unparalleled navigation experience

Our essential purpose is to passionately support sustainable navigation, empowering combining sensory pleasure with the modernity of connected
individuals to experience pure bliss and forge an intimate connection with nature. It is propulsion. Navigating has never been so intuitive and user-
our deep-rooted commitment that legitimizes our mission and feeds our unwavering friendly.
dedication to your satisfaction.
As an expert in onboard marine technologies, BlueNav found
its inspiration at the core of navigators' concerns, giving rise
to this ambitious project: tackling the challenge of sustainable
mobility at sea.

We understand that the experience of

navigation is not only about the destination
but also about the journey itself. We strive
to create an immersive voyage that goes
beyond mere transportation.
Our passion drives us to provide sailors
with means that align with their values
and aspirations. With their satisfaction as
our guiding principle, we are dedicated to
ensuring that every navigation moment is
filled with serenity.
