Wight Shipyard close to completion of new hybrid Uber Boat
Wight Shipyard has released a picture showing the Earth Clipper for Uber Boat by Thames Clippers as it nears completion.
Finishing touches are being made by the Isle of Wight shipbuilder on the vessel before it embarks on sea trials following its launch last month.
The boat is powered by an innovative hybrid engine supplied by PME Power Systems Group that blends both traditional fuel and electric power.
A post on Wight Shipyard's LinkedIn page said: "This innovative vessel represents our commitment to sustainable transportation and elevating the passenger experience on the iconic River Thames.
"One of the key features of our new ferry is its hybrid propulsion system, which combines electric and diesel engines to reduce emissions and minimise our environmental impact making it one of the most eco-friendly options for river transport in London."
