Zuidbergs transmissions in Lovers’ electric canal boats in Amsterdam

In the canals of Amsterdam, the electrification of canal boats is at full speed.

Lovers Canal Cruises (www.lovers.nl), the expert in canal cruises is continuously looking to improve on environmental sustainability. This is why they choose to use Bellmarine electric motors combined with gearboxes from Zuidberg Transmissions in their canal boats.

The gearbox is used for reducing the rpm and doubling the torque to the propeller-shaft of the boat. The advantage is that a small electric motor can do the job, where it is used as efficient as possible.

The Zuidberg gearbox has helical gears with which they are able to perform very quietly. This is important because the electric canal boats lack engine sound. All these features benefits the comfort of the passengers during the voyage through the canals, not to mention the air quality in our capital city.
