The first impression of Guardian S Class speed boat, with its shape like a rifle bullet, may seem fast and powerful. But making it environment friendly has been more emphasized during the design process of the yacht concept considering the fact that a world without a living human due to massive global warming pollution may not need to be fast and powerful at all.
Guardian S Class is a carbon fiber solar hybrid vessel that gets power from the combination of a carbon Grossbauteile electric motor and an EPA car regulated Mercedes Benz Bluetec engine, making it 50% less fuel consuming and 100% GHG emission free in comparison with currently available technologies. It comprises a Lithium ion UPS that provides zero carbon cursing for up to 50 nautical miles, while the SunPower array plug-in generates enough energy to motor carbon neutral for around 1000 nautical miles a year. This yacht concept can easily become a milestone for the boat manufacturers to reduce 375 million metric tons of CO2 per year that has been recorded creating by recreational boats, thus massively reducing global warming pollution too.
