Energy autonomy for waterways
With LaPéniche eXP, the CPC shipyard has taken a new step towards eco-responsible river navigation. This 15-meter model combines an electric motor with an on-board energy production and storage system. Equipped with a 40 kW ePropulsion motor, it draws its energy from an 80 kWh battery pack, complemented by 1,760 W of solar panels and a 14 kW generator running on biofuel. This architecture provides a range of 15 hours at 8 km/h, equivalent to three days' sailing without recharging.
Designed for life on board
Livability is a key feature of LaPéniche eXP. Designed for all-season use, it benefits from reinforced thermal and acoustic insulation with a polyester/PVC foam sandwich structure and double glazing. Its modular layout can accommodate from one to six cabins. In terms of comfort, the equipment is worthy of a terrestrial dwelling: 40,000 BTU air conditioning and reversible heating, complete household appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, wine cellar, etc.), top-of-the-range multimedia system with Samsung The Frame TV and unlimited satellite connection via Starlink.
Intelligent resource management
Onboard water management has been optimized to limit environmental impact. LaPéniche eXP has a 1,200-liter drinking water tank, fed by a filtration system that draws water directly from the canal. Wastewater treatment is integrated on board, with a capacity of 300 liters/day.
Assisted and connected navigation with Garmmin
Designed for optimum user experience, LaPéniche eXP features a hybrid cockpit, including an electric sunroof and adjustable pilot seat. Garmin EmpirBus technology centralizes controls via a 12-inch screen, including Navionics GPS navigation and a wireless autopilot. The system is complemented by a space for electric bicycles with optimized recharging sockets.
Electric canal cruising
With the LaPéniche eXP, CPC offers a model that meets the current challenges of river navigation: autonomy, energy efficiency and on-board comfort. This boat is part of a trend in which technical innovation is used to promote more sustainable boating, paving the way for a new way of navigating canals and inland waterways.
