Thailand’s first fleet of fully-electric passenger ferries hits the water

Bangkok is the world’s most visited city, welcoming nearly 23 million international visitors in 2019. However, the city’s air quality is regularly recorded at unhealthy levels due to a combination of factors, including traffic, construction and factory emissions and the burning of waste and crop residues. The Government of Thailand is attempting to clean up its air via several methods, including the promotion of alternative energy modes of transport. Danfoss Editron is part of the team delivering Thailand’s first fleet of fully-electric passenger ferries. We are providing Energy Absolute with the electric drivetrain systems that power the fleet of 27 catamarans, which operates on and transform the country’s Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The project is part of Energy Absolute’s ambitious plans to promote and increase alternative energy methods of transport in Thailand. . .
