Siemens and Fjellstrand partner on battery-electric car ferry

Green Car Congress

From 2015 onward, it will serve the E39 route between Lavik and Oppedal, across the Sognefjord. As a catamaran with two slim hulls, it offers less resistance in the water than a conventional vessel. These serve to recharge the ferry’s battery during turnaround and are then themselves slowly recharged from the local grid.
