Future of the Fjords is the first fully electric carbon fiber vessel in the world. The DNV GL-classed light craft, designed and built by Norway’s Brødrene Aa, has the capacity to take 400 passengers on the 90-minute trip from Flåm to Gudvangen. Future of The Fjords electric propulsion is delivered by two 450 kW motors enabling cruising speeds of 16 knots, which require a charging capacity of 2.4 MWh when the ship docks in Gudvangen. Westcon, Danfoss and Inmel are the other partners in this project.
