Fully electric and emission-free

The TrAM project is writing the blueprint for low‑cost, zero-emission inshore vessels, combining advanced modular production principles with ship design and construction.

The project has provided the industry with a toolkit for building sustainable ships. On top of bringing emissions to zero, these methods can cut production costs by a quarter and engineering costs by as much as 70 %.
The project built its own fully electric, emission-free fast passenger ferry, which is currently serving a multi-stop commuter route in Norway, and later adapted this design for the River Thames in London and the canals of Belgium, opening the floodgates for environmentally friendly ships across Europe.
