<\/a><\/p>\nHaving invested a great deal of time and energy researching, and perfecting our dedicated GX Boat Page<\/a> for users of E-drive water craft, naturally we at Victron Energy are delighted to have been nominated in the Navigation & Communication<\/strong><\/em> category of this award!<\/p>\n One of the main selection criteria this year is sustainability – which lies at the heart of all we do.<\/p>\n As part of the application we submitted an environmental statement and were pleased to be able to point to our open source Venus OS which allows brand integration – and therefore compatibility with existing hardware. The GX Boat Page – and our Venus OS more generally – is extensively compatible with third-party devices. On board electric and hybrid boats we connect seamlessly to propulsion systems, batteries, navigation systems, Android Tablets – for instant GUI.<\/p>\n Taken together the effect of these features is to extend the life of existing on board equipment – no need to remove serviceable equipment – therefore lowering the barrier to sustainable boating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/p>\n
