Yamaha is committed to advancing a carbon-neutral future on the water with a range of innovative technologies and alternative fuels. With the availability of Torqeedo’s electric outboards in its range, Yamaha offers its customers options to reduce their carbon footprint. Electric power is another step toward decarbonisation, ideal for smaller boats, and with innovations like Torqeedo’s and the recently updated Harmo engine, Yamaha is addressing diverse needs. Looking ahead, Yamaha is exploring multiple technology solutions, including electric, sustainable, and alternative fuels like hydrogen, to decarbonise the marine industry.

From January 2025, a selected range of Torqeedo outboards will be available in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The range will include the Travel Ultralight (1-3hp equivalent), the Travel Family (2-5hp equivalent), ideal for smaller boats up to two tons, and the more powerful Cruise models (6-25hp equivalent) for larger boats up to 12 tons.
Founded in 2005 close to Munich, Germany, Torqeedo is the global market leader in electric propulsion mobility on water, known for its comprehensive range of electric outboard and inboard motors, hybrid systems, and high-capacity batteries. Designed for ease of use and handling, these innovative outboards are ideal for a range of recreational applications across inland waterways and coastal waters.

With rapid charging capabilities, exceptional torque, and state-of-the-art battery management systems, Torqeedo motors ensure an efficient and eco-friendly alternative to traditional engines. In the selected eight countries across Europe, Torqeedo now makes use of the extensive Yamaha distribution network, making it easier than ever for customers to access sustainable boating solutions.
