Electrifying all transport

Land, sea and air – the 2020 Nordic EV Summit on April 23 and 24 will cover electrification of all three sectors.

The Norwegian government recently announced an action plan for green shipping, with the goal to cut emissions from domestic maritime transport and fishery in half by 2030.

Norway must find cost effective ways of carrying out the transformation process and at the same time ensure that it provides growth opportunities for the Norwegian economy and boosts Norwegian exports of green solutions, Nordic EV Summit organisers say.

“By 2022, around 80 ferries in Norway will be powered partly or fully by batteries. Furthermore, the amount of autonomous ships is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years, bringing positive effects on the climate and environment with them.”

Summit attendance is invited with early bird tickets now on sale, the event aiming to show the rest of the world what steps are being taken to “green” shipping and what other countries, such as New Zealand, are at the forefront of marine transport electrification.
