The DSe Hybrid 12m is a sustainable luxury yacht, which can cruise indefinitely at speeds up to 6 knots while creating zero CO2 emissions using technology that combines diesel, solar and electric power.

You can live on the hook for months at a time using only renewable energy. All your power needs can be met by the 6 kW Solar array, modern batteries and Diesel Parallel Hybrid Propulsion System from Steyr Motors.
