MONTREAL — The electric vehicle manufacturer Taiga Motors Corporation begins the launch of its newest model, Orca Performance. After over six years of dedicated R&D, Taiga presents its 100 per cent electric Personal Watercraft (PWC).
“Orca Performance stands as a true game-changer. This groundbreaking model represents a leap forward in mass-market boating electrification, showcasing our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional performance at competitive prices,” said Samuel Bruneau, CEO, and co-founder of Taiga. “Our design and engineering teams have pushed themselves, enabling us to optimize designs for high volume manufacturing without compromising the Orca’s distinctive character lines, agile hydrodynamics or exhilarating acceleration.”
The Orca Performance has electric propulsion technology enhancing manufacturing efficiency with automation. The watercraft hull utilizes high pressure moulded fiber reinforced composites developed over the past three years and built in Canada.
The new Taiga battery generation is an advancement in part integration (removing more than 700 parts) for streamlined automated manufacturing. The sealed lithium-ion battery has been optimized from a clean sheet to safely deliver maximum power across its lifetime under high vibrations and saltwater environments, providing energy for up to two hours of riding.
