SINGAPORE, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ACEL Power Inc., a Canadian innovator in electric marine propulsion, has entered into a distribution agreement with Singapore-based En-Syst Equipment & Services Pte Ltd. This strategic partnership grants En-Syst distribution rights for Singapore and across select ASEAN markets, including Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and more.
The collaboration marks ACEL Power's formal entry into Southeast Asia's fast-growing marine electrification sector, supporting the region's transition toward zero-emission marine technologies—especially in commercial, transport, and protected waterway segments.
Southeast Asia's Electric Marine Moment
A region of island with millions relying on short-haul ferries, water taxis, dive boats, and resort shuttles daily, the region represents one of the largest untapped markets for electric propulsion globally. Governments across ASEAN are introducing low-emission maritime zones, while tourism operators, fleet owners, and municipalities are seeking quieter, cleaner, and more efficient vessels.
A recent study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) forecasts that electric propulsion systems could power up to 50% of small to mid-sized vessels in Southeast Asia by 2035, as costs fall and emissions standards tighten.
'This partnership with En-Syst is another major milestone for ACEL as we scale globally,' said Natasha Chawla, VP of Sales and Marketing at ACEL Power. 'With over three decades of experience powering mission-critical infrastructure across APAC, En-Syst is ideally positioned to bring our technology to market and help accelerate the shift to sustainable boating.'
A Turnkey Solution for the Region
En-Syst will distribute ACEL's entire portfolio, the full Intelligent Electric Series, including 50HP, 75HP, 150HP, and 250HP outboards—each part of a high-voltage, fully integrated system combining modular battery packs, digital throttle controls, onboard touchscreen interface, and smart connectivity. The motors deliver up to 95.8% powertrain efficiency, while the high-voltage LFP battery packs feature an expandable architecture that supports seamless system scalability for extended range configurations. Advanced software provides real-time diagnostics, remote monitoring, and performance optimization, delivering a fully intelligent experience for modern marine operations.
In addition to outboards, ACEL's offering extends to inboard propulsion systems and ACEL X-tend range extender, gas-and diesel-powered generators for hybrid applications.
'We are excited to partner with ACEL Power to bring next-generation marine propulsion to Southeast Asia,' said Teo Han Leong, Director of En-Syst. 'Our region is ready for a leap forward in digitalization and electrification. From tourism and transport to utility vessels, the demand for cleaner and smarter marine solutions is rapidly growing. ACEL's integrated system provides a reliable, software enabled platform that aligns with what our customers want today—and what regulations will require tomorrow.'
En-Syst will maintain local inventory, offer installation and technical support, deploy demo boats, and lead OEM activations and regional trade show initiatives to grow dealer and customer adoption.
