This is incredibly important because regular container vessels pollute like you wouldn’t believe.
yes but without that black thick layer or pollution, we are toast down here. Remember what happened on 1/1/2020: the IMO lowered the SO2 levels of the cargo ship fuel
What is the range of this vessel? It doesn’t say in the article
I couldn’t find a proper answer to this, but the manufacturer says it’ll have a route between Ningbo and Jiaxing, which are quite close. Just for fun I made a little path between the two cities’s harbours, and it was a little under 200km, assuming no stops.
I wonder if it’s logistically viable to have one of these travel the Yangtze waterway, charging along the way
I think what’s interesting is it sounds like the battery is a set of storage containers. My guess is it supports battery swapping, so while the range might be small, it can refuel as part of exchanging cargo
Interesting. Any information on the range of these things? Yet again China forges ahead while the West clings to its outdated ways in the name of “free markets”.
