5 good reasons why Torqeedo outboard motors are the world's best-selling boat drives by far.
The world record in overall efficiency: greater range for electric boats
Optimising overall efficiency is at the core of our drive development. Overall efficiency is defined as the actual propulsive power of the drive (measured after deducting all losses including propeller loss) divided by the input power. The concept sounds simple and the logic behind it is compelling. And yet overall efficiency is largely ignored – perhaps because it is less important for combustion engines. However, it is extremely important for electric drive systems. That's why you will find it with Torqeedo when we describe what's important for us and in our technical specifications.
What's the reason for the superior overall efficiency? Superior drive technology
In order to build the most efficient drives on the market we focus uncompromisingly on high-tech – and on the careful optimisation and alignment of all components of the drive train. We minimise losses in propeller, gears, motor, electronics and cables while taking into account the interaction e.g. between motor and propeller.
Performance and safety: Torqeedo lithium battery technology
When you buy lithium batteries you always get a powerful battery. But whether you get a safe battery is a different matter. Torqeedo has been the market leader in lithium batteries in the marine industry since entering the market in 2006. Our six-tier safety system is, in our opinion, the most comprehensive safety concept in the marine industry.
Plug&play: convenient marine equipment packages
We wish to make the switch to alternative sustainable boat drives as uncomplicated for you as possible. For this reason, all the components that you typically need come with the Torqeedo drive system that you buy. All the components already communicate with each other, too. The on-board computer with GPS-based calculation of the remaining range is also part of the standard equipment. Useful accessories include our smartphone app, spare batteries, tiller extensions, transport bags and a whole lot more. In short, everything to make using Torqeedo motors even simpler and more practical.
Cleaner than petrol outboards
Torqeedo drives cause no water pollution with exhaust gases, oil or petrol. With regard to their carbon footprint, they are superior to combustion motors in a wheel-to-wheel comparison. This means that they pollute the atmosphere far less than combustion engines even when all the outboard's production steps and power supply are taken into consideration. The reason for the better carbon footprint of Torqeedo's electric drive systems is their low, resource-saving weight together with their dramatically lower power requirements in operation.
