Top Maritime Performance

The spray splashes against the boat as it powerfully moves through the water at speeds of up to 45 kilometres per hour. It’s conspicuously quiet because it’s propelled by the DEEP BLUE electric outboard from Torqeedo. Torqeedo is the pioneer of electric mobility on water. The company developed its first electric drive in 2005 in a boathouse on the shores of Lake Starnberg (Bavaria, Germany). At that time, there were no competitive electric motors in this sector and the founders, Dr. Christoph Ballin and Dr. Friedrich Böbel, sensed a market opportunity. They were proven right because since then, the demand for climate-friendly and sustainable boat propulsion systems has grown steadily. Today Torqeedo sells its technology in 100 countries around the world. For the last five years, HELUKABEL has been contributing to Torqeedo's sustainable success by supplying perfectly matched components such as the HELUTOP® MS-EP4 EMC cable gland. It’s used in the high-performance Cruise and Deep Blue models and its patented copper beryllium contact system ensures secure connections in all weathers. The glands are mounted on various units such as the batteries, AC/DC converters, battery coolers and the connection box. “Their high vibration resistance and seal tightness as well as simple installation and excellent EMC properties gained Torqeedo’s confidence,” explains HELUKABEL Area Sales Manager Dominik Riedl.
