(Alliance News) - DG Innovate PLC on Monday said it completed the first phase of its project to use its Pareta e-drive in marine applications.

DG Innovate shares jumped 21% to 0.21 pence each on Monday morning in London.

The Pareta electric drive system comprises a novel motor with integrated high-power inverter and control electronics. It divides the motor and inverter functionality between multiple segments, which leads to high efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

The Caerphilly, Wales-based company, which specialises in sustainable improvements in electric vehicle and energy storage technologies, said the project has delivered a design for an integrated fuel cell and powertrain system using the company's technology.

It added that the next stage of the project "will lead towards a full demonstration vessel project." DG Innovate expects to receive further grant funding for that stage.

Chief Executive Officer Peter Bardenfleth-Hansen said: "The potential demand for zero emission marine vessels is enormous, and I believe the enhanced reliability, performance and compact nature of our novel motor technology will be very appealing to marine operators. We look forward to the next stage of this project."
