Torqeedo launches app

Germany based marine electric engine manufacturer Torqeedo is unveiling its first smartphone app, called Torq Trac.

Developed for use with Torqeedo’s Travel, Cruise and Ultralight outboards, the app provides users with a dashboard display of useful information. Connected simply via a Bluetooth connection, Torq Trac shows the outboard’s remaining range in real-time on a map, highlights waypoints, provides an estimated arrival time and logs trip details, including how much money the user saved not using a gasoline outboard.

With improved readability, the app can be used during the day or at night and it also allows users to receive warning messages. Torq Trac is suitable for all Ultralight, Travel 503/1003, Cruise R and T models, 4kW and under.
