Marine electric drive manufacturer Torqeedo has more than doubled the warranty on its Travel motors from two years to five years.

“Since their launch in 2005, Torqeedo’s Travel motors have transformed boating by delivering superior technology, revolutionary benefits, and environmental responsibility,” Torqeedo chief executive Fabian Bez says. “But even more importantly, they are incredibly reliable. That’s why we’re now offering a five-year manufacturer warranty on all new Travel motors.”

“Longer warranties provide peace of mind that Travel motors withstand the marine environment with superior longevity and allow more boaters to experience the joy of cleaner, quieter, emission-free time on the water with their family and friends.”

In 2022, the firm opened a new 8,300sqm facility near Munich, where all company activities, including research, development, and production, now take place.

Torqeedo has become a preferred electrification partner for many of the world’s biggest boatbuilders and technology partners. It was recently named the electrification partner for Groupe Beneteau’s sailing, real estate on the water, and cruising business areas.

The Travel 1103 and Travel 603 motors come with a high-performance lithium-ion battery and a built-in onboard computer with GPS and remaining range and charge status.

“At Torqeedo, we understand that our customers expect environmentally respectful boating products which are high quality and cost-effective. Torqeedo continues to lead the way,” adds Bez.

The new five-year warranty applies to all Travel motors shipped on or after 28 April, 2023. Customers must register their product online at the Torqeedo website to be eligible for the warranty extension.
