Operational Highlights
Forza (FRZA) recently announced significant advancements in its operational journey toward revolutionizing the marine industry. The company has successfully built and tested a diverse range of electric boats, showcasing its commitment to sustainable and efficient watercraft.
Improving Performance And User Experience
Through continuous iterations, Forza has enhanced its engine design, lower units, and control systems across its boat lineup. Notably, the monohull has undergone an upgrade, now featuring a two-battery system that has been thoroughly tested in various conditions and environments. The incorporation of liquid-cooled batteries and engines, along with improved heat exchangers, has significantly improved overall performance.
The user interface has also received attention, with Forza leveraging the Garmin control screen to provide well-designed pages displaying operating characteristics and essential control parameters. The telematics unit has been adjusted to offer a more user-friendly experience, and the Forza Connect telematics software is now available on the Apple app store.
Revenue Anticipation And Expansion: FRZA’s Growth Strategies
With its groundbreaking electric boats and motors nearing completion, Forza anticipates generating revenues from sales starting in late 2023 and early 2024. Over the next six to nine months, Forza will continue building prototype engines and boats, ensuring the highest quality and performance for its customers.
Furthermore, the company has entered into partnerships with renowned marine manufacturers, positioning itself as a provider of electrification expertise and hardware packages as a service. Forza is currently working on a design phase to offer its solutions to a nationally recognized boat manufacturer, preparing to build two demonstration units for their upcoming dealer meetings in late summer. In line with its growth plans, Forza is developing a comprehensive website and has scheduled a media day on July 7th in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Advancements In Factory And Motor Production: FRZA’s Commitment To Innovation
Forza’s plans for its North Carolina factory are progressing rapidly. Land clearance is now 100% complete, with rough grading reaching 90% completion. The company has also chosen a design-build contractor for the building phase. To accommodate the engine and wire harness fabrication and testing, Forza has secured leased factory space, which has been fitted accordingly.
In March 2023, FRZA initiated engine production and wire fabrication in this facility, having already produced around ten motors to date. Notably, Forza (FRZA) introduced its latest Alpha 2 version powered by a Cascadia Motion electric motor. As part of their ongoing innovation efforts, Forza is currently developing a stacking motor design capable of delivering up to 300HP, further expanding their range of offerings.
