BMW.SG | BMW Singapore Owners Community The Ultimate BMW Community – Established Since 2001
The lithium-ion batteries used in BMW i vehicles are being supplied to Torqeedo, a marine drive system manufacturer from Germany. Torqeedo is a global leader as a provider of electric and hybrid motorboat propulsion systems for vehicles up to 160 HP.
Dr Alexander Kotouc, Head of Product Management BMW i, said:
We see the decision by Torqeedo to use BMW i high-voltage batteries for their Deep Blue propulsion system as further evidence that we can build the drive systems of the future without any need for compromise on performance, innovation and sustainability. This successful transfer of the latest automotive technology to the water is testament to the value of the integrated approach that underpins BMW i.
The BMW Group creates and produces the batteries for hybrid/electric vehicles in-house. They are constantly developing the batteries. For example, the new i3 battery has the same dimensions as the old one, but its capacity is 50% better.
