TORQEEDO INTRODUCES HIGH-POWERED DEEP BLUE IN BOARD
The world leader in electric propulsion, To rqeedo, now offers a shaft
drive version of its award-winning 40 and 80 horsepower Deep Blue motor.
The only electric drive designed for marine use from the ground up, the
Deep Blue inboard shares all of the safety, power and performance of the
original outboard system . It also featu res a quiet, low-maintenance, fume free and environmentally friendly ride.
To rqeedo continues to drive the global sh ift toward sustainable
boating with Deep Blue inboard. Customers see electric cars and buses on
the streets and are intrigued by the benefits of this propulsion on their
boats. However, many systems on the market are one -off solutions without
comprehensive safety features. Torqeedo is the first major company to
invest thousands of development hours in industri al -level safety and
engineering. Those efforts have been rewarded by insurers, boatbuilders
and customers across the globe.
Launched in Europe earlier this year, Deep Blue inboard opens up
many possibilities for b oth new and repowered vessels. Several European
builders offer an electric version of the ir lake cruisers and tenders , finding
the 1,800 rpm model provides the torque and accelerati on required for an
exhilarating ride. With a range of over 100 miles at slow speed and a
maximum speed of 18 mph , these luxury vessels are a tr iumph of design
and technology.

-2"Deep Blue inboard on recreational vessels is a lot o f fun , but it also
offers a co mpelling option to the diesel -dominated market of tour boats,
water taxis, workboats and l arger sai lboats," said Chris Carroll, Torqeedo
vice pre sident of sales and marketing. " The 1,400 rpm version takes
advantage of the hi gh torque available to propel h eavy loads efficiently.
This ends up savin g our commercial customers thousands of dollars in fuel
and maintenance costs over time."
Charging is incredibly simple. Users j ust plug in and walk away. The
high-voltage lithium batteries are manufactured in the US by Johnson
Controls to To rqeedo' s exacting standards of quality. They carry an
industry-leading nine -year, 80% capacity warranty.
To rqeedo is working with select North American OEMs to integrate
Deep Blue inboard into their lines. Those interested can c ontact
