World novelty on the boat in Düsseldorf. Michael Zupritt presented his, reminiscent of a Batmobile, Twiel Z7, with environmentally conscious electric drive and revolutionary design.
In Hall 1, at the compact and stylish stand of the Mizu company, an extraordinary concept was surprising: a boat, two striking lettering and a dedicated team of three.
The focus was on Michael Zupritt, the charismatic inventor of the Twiel Z7. With noticeable pride, he guided the press and the audience through the special features of his project. He welcomes us in a good mood with a sparkling sparkling wine from the hightwiel. The Singen local mountain is the namesake for the futuristic-looking designer boat with a catamaran hull. This is built in its immediate vicinity from local woods.Read more
‘I wanted to be independent of the marine product manufacturers and invent my own boat,’ reports Zupritt. He felt this impulse about five years ago. Zupritt is modest. ‘I didn’t develop it alone.’ Together with Klaus Wetzstein (architect), Juliane Hempel (statics) and Till Grabowski (keel production), he developed the prototype, which appears worldwide in a completely new form.
‘I want to build in the region, for the region and create new jobs,’ says Zupritt. The federal government supports him in his project with an innovation funding. Zupritt has exciting, further ideas for generating energy on the water. That’s how much we can already reveal today.
In the spring, watering is for the first time. In Moos, on Lake Constance, a crane is to lift the stylish high-tech boat into the water. It’s going to be a day of heart pounding for the development team, and all the water sports enthusiasts who want to take the turning point with them. The electric drive should be enough for ten knots, for a journey of around three to four hours. There are two chargers with 220 V. So the boat can be charged in any port or maybe one day at a floating station, in the middle of Lake Constance, but that’s still a dream of the future.
