Japan push “taxi boat”

Recently, Holland (New Holland) has introduced the first car to hydrogen fuel cell powered tractor NH2, so that is also elegant in a tractor.

We learn that this kind of “cell ship” called the boat “taxi” is the ocean of the University of Tokyo, Japan, Yamaha Motor and Tokyo Electric Power of the joint research team developed.

May be short-distance navigation in the Gulf of Tonkin, in a small boat, 10 meters long, can take 10 people. In calculating the vessel, compared to normal diesel boats, the construction cost is greater than about 1.5 times, but emissions of carbon dioxide can be reduced by half.

To “cell ship” can be practical, the research team for electric vehicles using lithium-ion batteries developed, which will shorten the charging time to 30 minutes. If the speed of the road, navigation and sustainable for 45 minutes.sony vgp-bpl11 ,  The ship planned for this year in July after the way the two parties in Tokyo Bay 7 km of sail between the two campuses to collect data in order to achieve a more perfect state.
