About Torqeedo
Torqeedo was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Wessling, Germany. Yamaha Motor completed its acquisition of the company in 2024, adding electric marine propulsion to its broader mobility portfolio. Torqeedo develops outboards, inboards, batteries, chargers, controls and integrated electric or hybrid drive systems across a wide power range.
The company is relevant to marine robotics because autonomy platforms still depend on propulsion, energy storage and control hardware engineered for long operating cycles and harsh environments. Seasats is a named downstream user of Torqeedo propulsion. That makes Torqeedo an enabling subsystem supplier rather than an autonomous-vessel builder: it provides the drive architecture while customers integrate navigation, mission software and payloads.
