Slow and steady wins the race – and TEMO! The guiding principle for our 2025 campaign, the keyword for this summer is to slow down to **fully enjoy your navigation** and also become **fully aware** of what's happening underwater.

Following in the wake of **UNOC** (United Nations Ocean Conference) and the awareness-raising efforts for ocean preservation, there's good news: as boaters, we all have a role to play in this. How? By reducing (even just a little) our navigation speeds.

Did you know? Boat speed is a major regulatory factor in disturbing aquatic species, and reducing it, **even by 1 knot**, significantly limits our impact on wildlife.

 

At TEMO, we are committed to better understanding this data and have conducted a survey. Dive with us into the first results of our study on **underwater anthropogenic noise**.

**How reducing your speed helps limit your impact on biodiversity?**

Therefore, speed is key.

And **electric propulsion seems to be THE ideal solution for reducing sail**!

With more torque and energy efficiency at low speeds than a combustion engine, **electric propulsion is the perfect boating companion you need**: stop&go, leaving port, transferring at anchor. In all these use cases, it's not horsepower that matters, but the ability to **almost instantly produce the energy** needed to move the boat and easily perform all its maneuvers.

**Why should we stop comparing Watts to thermal horsepower?**

Across the entire TEMO range, from 450W to 3 kW, in **outboard or pod** versions, this vision of performance is at the top of our specifications: controlled speeds for demanding thrusts.
Always with **TEMO quality**.


So this summer, at sea or on the river, by sailboat, dinghy, or kayak... no matter the speed of the vessel, as long as there is enchantment!

**And you? Ready for "slow-sailing"?**

"*What I particularly appreciate about the TEMO is its silence.*"** Vincent, TEMO·450 and TEMO·1000 user!**

**Make waves... share your images, leave your reviews.**

This summer, share your best shots of your TEMO in action on the water: sailboats, tenders, sunsets by tagging TEMO on social media.

And if the wake of your TEMO experience inspires you, leave a written trace on Google.
Thank you for your stars ⭐️**

SPEED IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS

Speed is not the priority. Sustainability, service, performance, boating, environment, innovation, are.
