Torqeedo unveiled revolutionary projects and innovative drive systems of its range of electric and hybrid drives for the marine market at boot 2024 in Düsseldorf.
Torqeedo displayed its wide range of electric drive systems from 1 kW up to 200 kW on a system level, for small leisure boats with the brand-new Travel Family, for sailboats and powerboats up to 12 tons with an ultra-efficient Cruise system, or for larger boats and yachts up to 120 feet with the modular Deep Blue systems. The Customized Solutions team, which serves professional mariners and boatbuilders, has been also on hand to explain how Torqeedo’s high-tech drive systems improve life onboard as they seamlessly manage both the propulsion and complete onboard energy generation and distribution.
Sustainability remains a hot topic with boaters, and Torqeedo partners displayed their clean boating innovations across the show, that hosted the world premiere of the Oceanis 37.1e – the first time Beneteau shows the electrified version of Oceanis’ celebrated new model to the public. Among its green credentials, the 37-footer boasts a Cruise 12.0 Fixed Pod and 10 kW battery bank as its emission-free powerplant.
The 100% electric Delphia 10 Lounge Top was also on exhibit, an ideal vessel for cruising picturesque lakes or urban waterways with friends or family. This comfortable, spacious vessel is powered by a fully integrated Deep Blue system with 50 kW inboard motor, 40 kWh Deep Blue battery, solar integration and onboard energy management.
Torqeedo also presented a visionary Deep Blue design study to the public for the first time. The design study emphasizes the team’s willingness to constantly rethink and stay ahead of the competition in the field of clean boating and maritime transport.
Travel Simulator, Panel Talk and Ocean Bottle cooperation complete Torqeedo’s place in the fair.
An innovative boating simulator allowed visitors to experience the performance and functionality of Torqeedo motors firsthand. Drivers steer their virtual boat over a lake, collecting plastic waste, and also showcased its cooperation with Ocean Bottle, which has been in place since September 2023.
During the exhibition has been announced that Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of outboard drives, has signed an agreement to purchase the shares of Torqeedo.
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd brings a high expertise combined with years of experience in the marine industry. The agreement is subject to the usual regulatory approvals. It is expected to be closed at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
