Norwegian ferry company, Fjord1, is to receive hybrid electric technology from Norwegian Electric Systems for three of its vessels.
- Electrical propulsion systems using chargeable lithium-ion batteries will reduce the ferries’ emissions.
- NES’s DC-Grid system can be modified to suit vessel upgrades that require larger battery capacities or higher shore power charging.
- Strict emissions requirements enforced by the Norwegian Road Authorities on the Brekstad – Valset and Sandvikvåg – Husavik routes where the ferries will be sailing.
For more information on the hybrid electric technology, see NES’s website.
