Vision Marine is extending a key display supply and integration relationship through 2029, supporting the connected digital interface of its E-Motion™ high-voltage propulsion platform. The agreement reinforces Vision Marine’s proprietary software environment, propulsion data visibility, CAN bus integration, diagnostics, telemetry, remote monitoring, software update capability where available, and OEM integration readiness.
BOISBRIAND, QC, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) (TSXV: VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), a marine technology company specializing in high-voltage electric marine propulsion and multi-brand recreational boating solutions, today announced that it has renewed its agreement with Nextfour Solutions Ltd. (“Nextfour”) to continue sourcing and integrating Q Display units as part of Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ high-voltage electric propulsion platform.
The renewed agreement extends the relationship through 2029 and includes automatic renewal provisions thereafter. Vision Marine has worked with Nextfour since 2021, integrating Q Display into E-Motion™-powered boats as the platform’s branded digital helm interface.
“E-Motion™ was built as a connected high-voltage marine propulsion platform,” said Maxime Poudrier, Chief Operating Officer of Vision Marine. “The continued integration of Q Display supports the digital layer of that platform, giving Vision Marine control over its branded interface while connecting propulsion data, diagnostics, telemetry, and customer-facing features at the helm. This agreement supports the continuity and scalability of the E-Motion™ architecture as we continue working with OEMs, dealers, technicians, and customers across multiple boat categories.”
Through the Q Display integration, Vision Marine’s E-Motion™ platform is designed to bring propulsion data, CAN bus communication, diagnostics, telemetry visibility, navigation, connectivity, remote monitoring capabilities, and customer-facing functionality into a branded digital helm environment. This interface is intended to make E-Motion™ easier to operate, monitor, service, and integrate across multiple vessel categories.
Q Display’s open architecture allows Vision Marine to maintain control over its proprietary user interface and software environment while supporting future feature development and software update capability where available. The integration also supports scalable display configurations, from compact touchscreen installations to premium multi-display helm environments, providing flexibility for OEM integrations, commercial applications, and direct customer deployments through Vision Marine’s retail and service ecosystem.
Nextfour’s expanded presence in Florida further supports the relationship by placing technical resources closer to several Vision Marine customers, OEM partners, dealers, service locations, and end users. The Company believes this proximity may support improved integration coordination, technical support, and service responsiveness.
Vision Marine continues to advance E-Motion™ through propulsion integration, battery systems, charging capabilities, data infrastructure, telematics, display interface integration, and direct customer deployment through Nautical Ventures. By combining high-voltage propulsion, connected interface technology, service visibility, and retail access, Vision Marine is continuing to build a platform designed to support broader electric boating adoption through improved integration, operation, and service support.
