1st advantage: superior technologies
Torqeedo motors are brushless, electronically controlled
and use modern materials and designs. Thus, our motors
offer 24 times the torque of conventional electric motors.
Depending on the application, our lithium-manganese batteries have 8 times the energy density of conventional lead acid, lead gel or AGM.
2nd advantage: double overall efficiency = double range
No other outboard manufacturer in the world transforms the energy available as efficiently into propulsion as Torqeedo.
With Torqeedo, approximately 44% of the energy stored in the battery transforms into propulsive power.
In comparison this is approximately 20% from conventional electric outboards, a Torqeedo outboard practically reaches double the range from one battery bank.
And in comparison to petrol outboards, the advantage is even greater: in lower power classes those petrol outboards lose approximately 75% of the shaft power just in the propeller.
3rd advantage: the combination of power and responsibility
There are several reasons why Torqeedo outboards are environmentally friendly.
One reason is that they convert the energy available nine times more efficiently into propulsion than petrol outboards of the same power class.
Another reason is that they do not develop any emissions or oil losses.
According to the Australian Department of the Environment, modern 4-stroke outboards pollute nature to the same extent as 50 cars (both traveling the same distance).
An old 2-stroke outboard is even comparable to 500 cars. |
