Wärtsilä providing HY hybrid modules for Swedish port tug; first vessel operating with Wärtsilä HY solution

Green Car Congress

It will be capable of operating on battery power when in transit. The integrated hybrid functionality of this vessel will give us a bollard pull of up to 100 tons, while saving fuel and maintenance costs and producing emission levels some 20 percent less than from a conventional ship of this type and size.

After calling Teslas a “toy” years ago, Hyundai’s belief in hydrogen is being tested

Teslarati

’ They told people battery-powered electric cars wouldn’t be able to travel for more than 150 kilometers, while hydrogen cars are advantageous because of the longer-range driving,” the green energy mobility consultant said. The maintenance cost for parts like the hydrogen tanks of the Nexo also proved substantial.

What is the difference between BEVs, PHEVs and HEVs?

Drive Electric NZ

BEVs run entirely on a battery-powered electric drivetrain. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. This battery then provides power to the electric motors to run the car. .
