Com mais de 250 000 sistemas de motorização Torqeedo em operação, a Torqeedo apresentou a sua mais recente inovação de produtos. O motor Travel tem encantado os nautas com sua excelente eficiência, tecnologia útil e design fácil de usar desde 2005 e mais de 100 000 motores Travel já foram vendidos em todo o mundo. Agora, a Torqeedo levou o original para um outro nível nível.
“A nova família Travel abre um novo capítulo nos produtos da Torqeedo. O Travel original foi o primeiro produto da Torqeedo e aquele que revolucionou uma indústria. Um verdadeiro ícone que agora foi redefinido”, disse Fabian Bez, CEO da Torqeedo GmbH. “A nova linha atende a uma gama ainda mais ampla de aplicações náuticas, adiciona muitos recursos centrados no utilizador e permite que os navegadores personalizem totalmente a sua experiência de navegação. As necessidades dos clientes estão no centro do desenvolvimento de nossos produtos – resultando no Travel XP. O nosso produto mais recente com potência de entrada de até 1 600 W preenche claramente uma lacuna no mercado.”
Estes novos motores de popa inovadores foram projetados para serem extremamente fáceis de usar, transportar e guardar, e a bateria click-and-play significa que não há mais cabos para conectar. Depois de a bateria ser removida com um clique e o leme dobrado, o motor compacto e leve é fácil de transportar e guardar.
O design modular da nova família Travel começa com quatro pacotes à sua escolha:
Adventure Package
O Adventure Package combina uma bateria Travel de 1 100 W e uma bateria de 1 080 Wh com um sistema inovador de montagem e direção que leva os pescadores de caiaque de forma rápida aos seus locais de pesca.
Essential Package
O Essential Package é o Travel original, redefinido. Ele combina um motor externo ultra-eficiente de 1 100 W com uma bateria de 1 080 Wh.
Range Package
O Range Package substitui uma bateria de maior capacidade (1 425 Wh) para quando você quiser passar o dia todo na água, levando os nautas ainda mais longe.
Power Package
O Power Package impulsiona facilmente barcos maiores, barcos em águas costeiras ou que enfrentam rotineiramente condições de vento e ondas com seu motor direct-drive de 1 600 W para serviço pesado e bateria de 1 425 Wh.
O carregador de 180 W incluído reduz o tempo de carregamento para metade, e um display colorido e retro-iluminado usa a interface de usuário intuitiva do Torqeedo com alcance e tempo de execução em tempo real calculados por GPS integrados e torna-o ainda mais fácil de ler. TorqLink, o protocolo de comunicação avançado da Torqeedo, e Bluetooth e WiFi são integrados para que os proprietários possam conectar-se ao novo aplicativo de smartphone da Torqeedo, TorqView. O aplicativo permite uma série de novos recursos, incluindo mapas, registos de viagem e atualizações sem fio. Agora, as atualizações do motor podem ser realizadas em qualquer lugar onde haja conexão com a internet, o que significa que o Travel está sempre atualizado, seguro, confiável e eficiente. Os proprietários do Torqeedo também podem optar por permitir que o Torqeedo e seus centros de serviço autorizados recolham informações do sistema para fornecer a experiência de serviço e manutenção mais rápida e eficiente possível.
A nova gama Travel de produtos e acessórios para navegação estará disponível no início de 2024. Comercialização: YachtsWork.
Torqeedo reveals next-generation electric outboards: the all-new Travel family
Modular, flexible, and customizable design puts boaters’ needs first, opens up broad range of applications
Four packages to choose from: Adventure Package, Essential Package, Range Package and Power Package
New lineup will premiere at METSTRADE. Powerful 1,600 W direct-drive Travel XP debuts as new flagship, opening up a new dimension in electric propulsion power
Nominated for prestigious DAME Design Award
With more than 250,000 Torqeedo drive systems in the field, Torqeedo today introduces their latest product innovation. The iconic Travel motor has been delighting boaters with its outstanding efficiency, useful technology, and easy-to-use design since 2005 and more than 100,000 Travel motors have already been sold worldwide. Now, Torqeedo has taken the original to the next level.
“The new Travel family marks the opening of a new chapter of Torqeedo products. The original Travel was Torqeedo’s first product and the one that disrupted an industry. A true icon which now has been redefined,“ said Fabian Bez, CEO of Torqeedo GmbH. “The new lineup serves an even broader range of boating applications, adds many user-centric features, and allows boaters to fully customize their Travel experience to meet their individual needs. The customers’ demands are at the very core of our product development – resulting in the Travel XP. Our latest product with up to 1600 W input power clearly closes a gap in the market.”
The new Travel family’s modular design starts with four packages to choose from:
Adventure Package
The Adventure Package pairs an 1,100 W Travel and a 1,080 Wh battery with an innovative mounting and steering system that gets kayak anglers quickly and stealthily to their secret spots.
Essential Package
The Essential Package is the original Travel, redefined. It pairs an ultra-efficient 1,100 W outboard motor with a 1,080 Wh battery.
Range Package
The Range Package substitutes a higher-capacity battery (1,425 Wh) for when you want to spend all day on the water, taking boaters even further.
Power Package
The Power Package easily propels bigger boats, boats on coastal waters, or that routinely experience windy, wavy conditions with its heavy-duty 1,600 W direct-drive motor and 1,425 Wh battery.
Once the package is selected, a multitude of charging, propeller, and accessory options allow boaters to build their perfect electric Travel companion.
“These innovative outboards are designed to be ultra-easy to use, transport, and stow, and the click-and-play battery means no more cables to connect. Once the battery is removed with a click and the tiller is folded, the compact and lightweight motor is easy to hand up and down to the dinghy, fits easily in a lazarette, and won’t leak fuel and oil while stored,“ Thomas Wiedemann, Senior Vice President Global Program Management, adds.
The included 180 W charger cuts charge times in half, and a backlit, full-color display takes Torqeedo’s intuitive user interface with onboard GPS-calculated real-time range and runtime and makes it even easier to read. TorqLink, Torqeedo’s advanced communications protocol, and Bluetooth and WiFi are built in so owners can connect with Torqeedo’s new smartphone app, TorqView. The app enables a host of new features, including maps, trip logs, and over-the-air updates. Now, motor updates can be performed anywhere there’s an internet connection, meaning the Travel is always up-to-date, safe, reliable and efficient. Torqeedo owners can also opt-in to allow Torqeedo and its authorized service centers to collect system information to provide the fastest and most efficient service and maintenance experience possible.
With infinitely variable speed and steering controls, the new-and-improved tiller eases docking and launching with its ultra-precise, foldable, and customizable design. Change the direction of forward and reverse, increase or decrease friction, and even use while standing. For boats with a rudder or steering wheel, the Power Package’s Travel XP can be ordered as a remote model with everything you need to connect to standard Teleflex steering, and an optional remote kit is also available to convert a tiller-steered Travel. The new, 90-degree tilt-equipped transom mount design lets you raise the motor completely out of the water, and the practical new 3-stage rotation control lever lets you quickly choose between fixed steering, +/- 60-degree steering, and 360-degree, fully rotatable steering.
“The entire user experience, down to the new connected features and the smartphone app, leverages Torqeedo’s 18 years of experience in building the world’s best electric drive systems and brings it to a new generation of boaters who demand greener, cleaner, and more thoughtfully designed products,” said Sven Mostögl, Senior Vice President Branded Retail. “This launch is the start of a new chapter for Torqeedo. Not only are we significantly reshaping and sharpening the product portfolio and brand appearance, but we have also made the next decisive step in building the future of electric boating.”
The new Travel family of clean boating products and accessories will be available in early 2024.
