A citywide backlash against battery-powered vehicles followed, as reported by multiple sources. The immediate fallout has been new restrictions that hamper gig workers’ ability to charge their two-wheeled EVs. Meanwhile, investigators ultimately concluded that a gasoline-powered scooter had in fact caused the fire.)

It will be capable of operating on battery power when in transit. The vessel will be capable of being completely independent from additional charging facilities, since re-charging of the energy storage system will be automatically managed by the Energy Management System, the “brain” of the Wärtsilä HY.

Light duty vehicles—passenger and small commercial vehicles—account for 58% of transportation GHG emissions, and battery-powered electric vehicles have emerged as a lower-emissions solution for many applications. Transportation is responsible for approximately 29% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually in the United States.

The European Union plans to begin charging shippers for carbon emissions this year. Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships. A large merchant ship, capable of carrying thousands of containers, could be powered by two (or more) 30-megawatt reactors.

Our new e-tug will be able to do three to four shipping moves on a full charge, or around three to four hours work (one shipping move takes an hour on average). A fast charge will take about two hours. Ports of Auckland first started looking for a battery-powered tug in 2016. This is just what we need.
