When you make a run on Europe’s largest trade show Boat Dusseldorf, you can feel it, and when you just count, you see it: the number of electric outboard engines is way bigger than the fossil ones.
And there is more. the electric engine has so many advantages, that there is plenty more to invent. Here a run through some features.
And, from this year, Yamaha, one of the largest outboard engine companies in the world, is sellling the electric Torqueedo outboards.
Yamaha is the first fossil company who does it. Please understand, for the fossil retail it is very difficult to convert to electric engines, because the maintenance time is 6 times less. That is great for us consumers, but bad for business. But the conversion to electric can not be stopped, because the other advantages are plentyful: the silence, staying free of smells, the growing regulations on fossils, and, last but not least, less pollution and less damage to our next generations.
