The "who's who" of e-mobility on the water

Contrast programme: Boot Tulln sees itself as the clear number 1 in the field of electric boats and electric motors. "No other nautical trade fair offers a larger range of this promising technology. All motor manufacturers are represented, the 'who's who' of 'e-mobility on water'," emphasises Messe Tulln.

Top Yacht, for example, is setting new standards for a more sustainable maritime awareness with another Austrian premiere, the X Shore 1 - quiet, powerful and emission-free. The pure e-boat is available as an open and top model and, according to the manufacturer, has a range of 50 nautical miles at low speed. The Austrian boatyard Frauscher is not only considered a pioneer in electromobility in its own country. It will once again be represented at Boot Tulln with its e-boat portfolio. The latest addition from Boote Marian from Lake Wolfgang, the M800 Spyder, will be celebrating its Austrian premiere. Kaiser Bootsmanufaktur will also be on board with a total of four new releases, whose boats are characterised by an extravagant look. Lex Boote is represented with the two classics Lex 610 and Lex 790. New and extravagant: Yachtservice Potsdam with the Diva electric boat. Boote Schmalzl will be showing boats from the "noble forge" Boesch and Candela. The electric boats from Stickl are regular guests in Tulln. The Tulln trade fair organisers are certain that the latest model, the E-Spirit 730, will attract attention with its modern look and design language.
