Swedish public transport company Vattrafic has taken delivery of their fourth electric hybrid ferry
Swedish public transport company Västtrafik has taken delivery of their fourth electric hybrid ferry ‘Eloise’ powered by an EST-Floattech battery system.
The 298 passenger ferry has an installed capacity of 1260 kWh, with which she can sail fully electric for six hours, recharging via shore power or, if necessary, the onboard diesel generator.
EST-Floattech’s Green Orca 1050 High Energy Battery System runs on Lithium Polymer NMC cells with a high discharge rate capability. An in-house designed battery management system (software) and several mechanical features (hardware) ensure continuous safe operations.
The new ferry is another step towards the goal of electrifying the public transportation in Gothenburg and we are proud to be part of this project. Thanks to shipyard Työvene for their trust.
Note that Työvene delivered the Eloise two months early, an impressive feat!
