Energy efficiency of the product use as a premise for the development of motorboat producers in Poland
Main Article Content
Abstract
The main objective of the article is to assess the impact of the variable, which is the level of energy efficiency and the financial aspect of the acquisition and operation of zero-emission electric motor boats against the background of their market substitutes in the form of conventionally powered boats in the face of the phenomenon of development and further market expansion of producers of electric motor boats in Poland in conditions for meeting contemporary environmental demands for sustainable development. This goal was achieved taking into account the results of the study carried out taking into account the descriptive and comparative analysis of energy, environmental and economic conditions for the development of a research and development project conducted in 2018–2019 by VT-Sport, concerning the development of a new model of a motorboat along with preparation for implementation into production. The result of the study was an indication of market needs in the scope of further development and expansion of domestic producers of electric drives for motor boats in Poland. The results of the research may constitute a significant contribution to in-depth research and discussions in the field of meeting the conditions and postulates of ecological, economic and social sustainable development in the considered sector of the economy.
