At ARMOR-X, we are currently working on several projects to convert river boats to electric propulsion systems. This transition is fully in line with the current challenges of sustainability and innovation for the river sector.
Why electric power on inland waterways ?
By eliminating direct CO₂ emissions and reducing noise pollution, this technology offers an ideal solution for cleaner waterways that are more respectful of riparian ecosystems.
But this transformation also represents exciting challenges for our teams :
Study of forward resistance : analyze hydrodynamic performance to maximize energy efficiency.
Motor and battery sizing : designing tailor-made solutions that guarantee autonomy and performance, while adapting to the specific constraints of each vessel.
- Stability studies: ensuring that safety and performance remain optimal after conversion.
- Regulatory compliance: comply with the strict standards applicable to electrical retrofit projects.
- Structural modifications: adapting the boat’s structure to seamlessly integrate the new equipment.
- Safety plans and equipment: rethinking systems to take account of the specific features of new technologies.
Our teams are fully committed, from design to implementation, to supporting each project with cutting-edge expertise and a personalized approach.
