Highly efficient and powerful – Torqeedo presents the most powerful 24 V outboard on the market. The Cruise, with the thrust force of a 6 HP combustion engine.

The Torqeedo Cruise is the emission-free alternative for sailing and motor boats with displacement of up to three tons. Equipped with the latest torque technology, an optimized drive train and an optimized propeller, the Torqeedo Cruise is not only the most efficient but also the most powerful 24-volt outboard available on the market.

The Cruise gets its energy either from lead batteries that have been connected in series (normally two 12 V batteries) or from the Torqeedo Power, lithium-based batteries.

When using lead batteries within the power range of the Cruise, the efficiency of a drive is important for two reasons. On the one hand, an efficient drive converts the used energy better into propulsive force. A high efficiency of the drive additionally ensures that more battery capacity is available for consumption.

Due to the extraordinary efficiency of the Cruise, it wastes comparably little energy but its input power of 2,000 Watt is challenging to the lead battery supply. To compensate for the high-current characteristics and the loss of capacity of lead batteries concomitant to this, it is recommendable that you purchase lead batteries with comparably „good“ high-current characteristics as well as high rated capacities (ideally 4,800 Wh, i.e. two times 12 V / 200 Ah or higher rated capacities; compare Background Knowledge on Calculating the Range of Electric Motors).
