Leading manufacturer of the most technologically advanced electric outboards on the market, Torqeedo has been recognized by world-renowned National Geographic, in an episode of its TV series 'Planet Mechanics'.

The series focuses on ways to lower energy consumption by utilizing the environmentally-conscious technology of the future.

The episode, entitled 'Electric Water Taxi', follows hosts Dick Strawbridge and Jem Stensfield as they travel to Venice, Italy, to save the beautiful city from the damaging effects of boat pollution.

To achieve this goal, they build an eco-friendly water taxi that operates on a solar-powered motor.

Due to their need for an extremely efficient drive capable of converting solar power into propulsive power, the hosts chose to use a Torqeedo Cruise motor and Power lithium batteries on their water taxi.

A strong outboard was needed to keep up with the flow of Venice's heavy water traffic. Using Torqeedo's high power lithium batteries helped limit weight and increase space on the small boat.

Innovative and award-winning, Torqeedo motors don't harm the environment. Without polluting the water or producing harmful greenhouse gases, they offer unrivalled strength and range.
