Transfluid: a story of transmission and adaptation
Transfluid was founded in Italy in 1957 by a family of passionate mechanics. Today, Ugo Pavesi, the founder's son, is at the helm, carrying on a tradition of reliability and innovation. Historically focused on industrial mechanics, the company has established itself as a key player in power transmission, with the hydrodynamic coupling as its flagship product. It is currently the world's 2nd largest manufacturer.
This simple, robust technology is based on a pump and turbine that transfer torque without the need for electronics. Used mainly in large-scale industries, this solution guarantees exemplary longevity and easy maintenance, considerably reducing the risk of breakdowns. However, in response to changing markets and new propulsion requirements, Transfluid has diversified its offer and entered the era of electric motorization.
A transition to hybrid and electric vehicles
In 2015, Transfluid initiated a strategic shift in response to declining profitability. The company then focused on parallel hybrid motorization, a bold choice that marked the beginning of a new era. This repositioning took shape two years later, in 2017, with the acquisition of BellMarine, a major player in electric motors for the marine industry.
Thanks to this alliance, Transfluid is now able to offer a complete range of electric motors, lithium batteries and transmission systems. The solutions offered cover a wide power range, from 1.5 kW to 260 kW, to meet the needs of both pleasure craft and industrial units.
A technical offering tailored to yachting and industry
Transfluid's strength lies in the diversity and flexibility of its solutions. The company offers both direct and geared drives, enabling it to adapt to the most complex configurations. All options are developed by the company's in-house design office, guaranteeing a tailor-made response to the requirements of shipyards and manufacturers.
This approach is characterized by a philosophy of simplicity: installation and maintenance are easily accessible, encouraging smooth adaptation by professionals and boaters alike.
Quality and certification, the keys to reliability
In a sector where standards play a central role, Transfluid relies on rigorous certification to ensure the quality and durability of its products. These standards, which are indispensable for industrial applications, also translate into benefits for marine users, in terms of safety and reliability.
The modularity and durability of Transfluid solutions are attractive to shipyards wishing to modernize their fleets or switch to more environmentally-friendly propulsion systems.
Solutions tailored to changing boating needs
With the market increasingly focused on the energy transition, Transfluid has established itself as a strategic partner for professionals and enthusiasts in search of sustainable motorizations. The versatility of its catalog, combined with proven robustness, makes it a benchmark in the field of electric and hybrid yachts.
