Emission-Free Innovation for Urban Transport
The City Tug 1 and 2 are specifically designed for transporting goods through urban waterways. With an impressive 240 kWh battery capacity and fully electric propulsion, they offer a sustainable alternative to traditional tugboats. These emission-free vessels are a first within the Amsterdam canal profiles.
Powerful and Maneuverable.
Despite their compact size of 6.00 x 4.00 meters, the City Tugs deliver exceptional performance. The dual thruster propulsion system makes these vessels highly maneuverable, while being capable of pushing up to 150 tons. Combined with specially designed hopper barges measuring 19.9 x 4.25 meters, they can transport loads of up to 65 tons—ideal for urban transportation.
Sustainable Power Supply.
At the heart of these electric tugboats are the 240 kWh batteries, supplied by MG Energy Systems. These es-trin certified batteries not only provide reliability but also contribute to a greener future. By utilizing electric propulsion, the City Tugs significantly reduce CO2 emissions and play a crucial role in making urban transport more sustainable.
A First in Emission-Free Transport through Amsterdam's Waterways.
The City Tugs are the first tugboats capable of operating completely emission-free within the profile of Amsterdam’s canals. These innovative vessels demonstrate the potential for cleaner, quieter, and more efficient urban transportation. The project sets a new standard for sustainable urban logistics on the water.
Meeting Emission Standards.
The City Tugs are designed in accordance with Amsterdam’s strict emission standards, aiming to make inland navigation completely emission-free by 2025. This forward-thinking approach not only sets the tone for Amsterdam but also for other cities that are likely to follow in their pursuit of sustainable urban water transport.
