A LOOK AHEAD: FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

Commercial tech tends to trickle down into recreational boating, so it’s notable that Torqeedo teamed with Italdraghe to create outboard, retractable propulsion for commercial vessels on inland waterways. The system combines Torqeedo’s Deep Blue lithium-ion battery (left) with Italdraghe’s azimuth thrusters, allowing for emissions-free power with directional thrust.
