Electric Propulsion in Short Sea Shipping [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Electric Vehicle Journal, 2012
Short sea shipping, the movement of freight along coasts and inland waterways, is more efficient and environmentally friendly for transporting large quantities of product. While marine transport may displace numerous diesel trucks, conventional propulsion systems still rely on petroleum fuels and the old engines found in most freight vessels produce ...
