TORQEEDO DEEP BLUE 100I

Electric power is becoming ever more viable for marine applications as motors get increasingly powerful and battery technology improves. Taking advantage of both those facets, Torqeedo is introducing two new variants of its Deep Blue electric propulsion system for 2019. Both are based around more powerful 100kW motors – the key difference is the motor’s maximum revs and thus its application potential.

Deep Blue 100i 2400 has been specifically designed and constructed to power fast-planing motorboats. Its maximum run speed of 2,400rpm allows it to hit far higher speeds than lower-revving variants and with 390nm of torque from very low RPM, Torqeedoedo says that this set up is faster to planing speeds than a conventional combustion engine.
