A big test for small motors: Accredited test laboratory Potsdam Model Basin (SVA Potsdam) confirms unique efficiency of Torqeedo outboards.

After successful internal tests and a successful introduction of the motors onto the market in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Torqeedo wanted to have an "ultimate" test and sent two of its outboards to the SVA Potsdam. The independent experts at the SVA tested and confirmed the unique overall efficiency level and superior propulsive powers of the Torqeedo motors under laboratory conditions.

Since its founding more than 50 years ago, the SVA has developed into an internationally recognized research and consultation facility for commercial shipbuilding. 45 highly-specialized experts from various fields as well as test systems and measurement techniques that meet all international standards consolidate the position of this non-profitmaking organization as an internationally recognized research center and accredited test laboratory.
