Norvegia va lansa primul cargo electric autonom din lume în 2018. Acesta va fi 100% electric, va avea o autonomie de 120 km şi va putea transporta o greutate de 3.000 până la 3.500 t. Nava va fi lansată fără echipaj din 2020, cu condiţia să primească toate autorizaţiile necesare.
Norway is making a first significant step toward just that with Kongsberg, a maritime engineering firm, and Yara International ASA, a large Norwegian chemical company, unveiling the concept for a new all-electric and autonomous cargo ship that they plan to have in operation as soon as next year.
Kongsberg is developing the battery system, electric drive, and all the components for autonomous navigation.
