Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

“the 11th and 12th decks are specifically used to transport hydrogen and natural gas-fueled new energy vehicles.” The green LNG-fuel-powered vessel will be used to service European markets via the Cape of Good Hope route, as well as the China-Brazil route, “and other strategic pathways,” the manufacturer wrote.

Disappointing. From the headline, I thought the container ship itself was electric, like with an Iron Air Oxide battery as described in this article.

As it is, the article is basically just saying "Hey, this EV company got their own fossil fuel powered transport ship. And there's some fossil fuel cars on a couple decks too! Cool huh?"

Ahhh that’s sad. I really want to see electric long haul ships.
