Founded in 1957 in Milan, Transfluid is a leading Italian company in the field of industrial and marine power transmissions. Over the decades, the company has expanded its expertise to include advanced electric and hybrid propulsion systems, meeting the growing demand for sustainable and efficient solutions.
A major step in this direction was the acquisition of Bellmarine, a Dutch brand recognized as a pioneer in electric marine propulsion. This strategic integration has enabled Transfluid to offer fully integrated and turnkey systems, such as the DriveMaster range, which features high-efficiency permanent magnet motors combined with IP65-rated vector-controlled inverters. These systems guarantee reliable and high-performance operation, even in demanding marine environments. Bellmarine systems are designed to be “plug and play,” allowing for quick and easy installation on board a wide range of vessels, from private boats to commercial workboats. They are fully compliant with the European ES-TRIN standards for inland waterway vessels, ensuring safety and regulatory conformity.
Today, with more than 4,000 systems installed across Europe, Bellmarine has become a benchmark in the electric boating industry. The brand’s reputation is built on reliability, quiet operation, and zero-emissions navigation, all supported by Transfluid’s decades of mechanical engineering experience.
Thanks to this synergy, Transfluid now offers one of the most complete product portfolios in the sector, ranging from mechanical transmissions and power take-offs to hybrid-electric modules and full electric systems. Its solutions are certified by major classification bodies including DNV, ABS, and BV, further confirming the company’s commitment to quality and innovation.
Together, Transfluid and Bellmarine are shaping the future of sustainable navigation, delivering clean, quiet, and efficient propulsion for both recreational and professional applications around the world.
