Torqeedo - Southern Power

THE LEADER IN ELECTRIC BOAT DRIVES

As pioneers in the field of water-based electromobility, Torqeedo has set many standards since its founding, reinforcing the competitive edge their motors over all other solutions available on the market. Superior technology and revolutionary benefits are what they set out to achieve. And every product – such as electric boat motors and electric outboard motors – that Torqeedo brings to market meets both these criteria. All their drive systems operate at record overall efficiency levels, which is the most important measure of electric propulsion. This is because it determines potential boat power and range for a limited battery supply. Torqeedo offers outboards and inboards, electric motors and hybrid drive systems ranging from 0 5 to 100 kW on motor level (up to 200 kW on system level).

PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY

The technology for electric mobility on the water is here. Torqeedo focuses on the segments in which emission-free and hybrid drives are competitive today while at the same time building on their institutional knowledge to develop the products which will power our climate-friendly future.

SUSTAINABILITY

The desire to safeguard nature for future generations is the same all over the world. The interest in environmentally friendly solutions is also just as high. Torqeedo offers such solutions for water-based propulsion systems, combined with advice, delivery and service in over 50 countries on 5 continents.

PERFORMANCE /EFFICIENCY

Torqeedo focuses on optimising propulsive power. Their use of the latest technologies means Torqeedo has the highest overall efficiency on the market. That is, every Torqeedo drive converts its available battery power to propulsive power better than any other electric outboard motors. This is very important for electric drives as it means more power and range from limited battery capacity.

LEISURE SOLUTIONS

Electric drives for sailors/motorboats/kayaks

Torqeedo delivers cutting-edge electric propulsion systems for a wide range of vessels, from small dinghies to yachts up to 120 feet. For sailboats, the lineup includes powerful electric outboard motors, compact and efficient pod drives, and one of the most advanced electric saildrives on the market. Torqeedo also leads innovation with the world’s first fully integrated hybrid propulsion and energy management system, produced at an industrial scale—offering smart, sustainable performance on the water.

For motorboats and kayaks, Torqeedo provides clean, quiet, and efficient electric solutions. The Travel and Cruise series delivers up to 20 hp of emission-free fun, while the Deep Blue system brings high-performance electric power up to 100 kW in both outboard and inboard options. For kayaking, the Ultralight series is built for stealth, efficiency, and easy handling—perfect for fishing or long-distance touring. Wherever you go, Torqeedo brings electric mobility that’s reliable, sustainable, and built for adventure.

COMMERCIAL

Reliability, efficiency and safety are critical when choosing propulsion for a commercial vessel. Low and predictable fuel and maintenance costs are also crucial. Torqeedo offers fully integrated, standards-compliant, high-tech drive systems at a competitive total cost of ownership.

Ferries and water taxis

There is a strong upsurge in electric or hybrid drive systems for ferries and water taxis. The typical advantages of electric drives play a major role in this area.

Lower fuel costs – electricity costs are much lower and more stable than petrol or diesel.
Increased uptime – a vastly reduced maintenance schedule means more time on the water and more money in your pocket.
Zero local emissions – a diesel-powered ferry emits air pollution roughly equivalent to that produced by 40 diesel buses.

Life- work- & coach boats

Torqeedo provided the integrated propulsion system for the world’s first electric-powered freefall lifeboat, which is being built by the Dutch builder Verhoef.

Marinas, ports and harbours around the world are looking for ways to lower operating expenses and their carbon footprint. The brand-new ZenPro 580 – a 5.8-metre workboat that is purpose-built for electric propulsion – is making it easy.

To protect the local groundwater, the Kaspar Weiss gravel quarry equipped their workboat with the zero-emission Deep Blue system.

Rental- excursion- & autonomous boats

The Rand Picnic Boat with Cruise 10, a popular rental boat for use in urban waters around the world, proved its credentials as an enjoyable, easy-to-drive platform for spending time with family and friends on the water.

A fleet of 15 Deep Blue-powered passenger excursion boats are used for sightseeing tours of the River Safari jungle habitat at Vinpearl Land, Nam Hoi.

An unmanned Google boat is mapping shorelines to raise awareness of the impacts of sea level rise.

Electric drive systems make sense for commercial operators

Combustion engines cost money every time you use them. An outboard motor of between 70 and 90 HP typically uses between 10 and 40 litres of fuel per hour above 6 knots.

In contrast, one Deep Blue high-voltage battery charge saves up to 95% of the costs. If you spend more than 100 days a year on the water it may well make sense to switch to a clean, electric drive system. Contact us to discuss what you need.
