Rim Drive Technology develops, manufactures, and sells Rim Drive motors from 0.5 to 75kW for the private, commercial, industrial, and underwater applications. In order to guarantee and monitor the quality of our products, our production, R&D and office is located in the Netherlands.

Our motors are 100% electric and can be used as either main propulsion or secondary drives. In addition to motors, Rim Drive Technology provides a wide range of customizable complementary products, including batteries, monitors, throttle controls, motor controllers, and cables.

Thanks to the unique design—featuring no center shaft—there’s minimal risk of entanglement from ropes, nets, or debris, making them an ideal solution for autonomous surface vessels and other critical applications.

Maintenance is often a major cost driver in marine operations, but not with Rim Drive motors. With only one rotating part, the simplified mechanism drastically reduces wear and tear. The result? Lower maintenance needs and reduced operational costs.

Rim Drive Technology offers a wide range of propulsion options, providing efficient and reliable solutions for various vessel types and applications. For main propulsion, we provide fixed PODs, steerable PODs, and outboard options.
