Pyxis’ Post

Folks regularly commuting to and from ships at anchorage can now look forward to quieter rides, thanks to the electric passenger boat from Pyxis. "MPA congratulated Pyxis on its social media, noting that X Tron is the first in a series of electric port passenger vessels made by Pyxis. It also said that the battery-powered vessel has a range of up to 50 nautical miles and will operate out of Marina South Pier. In January 2024, MPA selected Pyxis Energy, Pyxis Maritime and SP Mobility partnership, as well as Seatrium O&G (International) and Yinson Electric for their vessel charging concepts to be piloted in Singapore. This decision followed MPA’s global call for proposals to establish, operate and maintain electric harbor craft (e-HC) charging points in Singapore." An additional benefit of an electric harbor craft would be that additional insulation will not be required to combat noise, vibration and harshness from the propulsion. This reduces construction and maintenance costs further as well as the overall mass of the vessel. It will also result in the crews feeling less fatigued at the end of the shift due to the aforementioned benefit as well as less checks of the machinery. On a side note, there is a new vessel to spot at MSP now! How can ports worldwide encourage such adoption? Feel free to comment below. #sustainableshipping #ev #decarbonisation #seafarerempowerment

To my Lithuanian readers, I've shared some insights with Verslo žinios on how the future EV charging network will look like. 🚗 ⚡ We at #IgnitisON have ambitious plans, and we're already contracting quite a lot of locations where EV drivers won't need to turn away from their initial route to charge their EVs.

In 2023, Zeekr embarked on an exciting European journey. We proudly launched Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X in Europe, starting with the Netherlands and Sweden. Charging into 2024, we're excited to explore new territories and continue our European journey. Here’s to new roads and new adventures! #Zeekr #ZeekrEurope #Zeekr001 #ZeekrX #EV - Zeekr 001 Performance AWD: Power consumption in kWh/100km: 18.5 (WLTP), CO2-emissions in g/km: 0 Zeekr X Privilege AWD: Power consumption in kWh/100km: 18.3 (WLTP), CO2-emissions in g/km: 0

Giga Europe 2024 - pleased to be part of that recent gathering alongside the Benchmark Mineral Intelligence crew and friends... Here are the 'official' 5 Key Takeaways. I'd add a single overall takeaway which is that we need to quickly establish a cross-industry forum within which we cross pollinate the various challenges and opportunities we face in the managed transition to EV's and renewables - finding synergies, economies of scale, and fresh ideas. As it happens, I've seen such a forum in action - China EV100 - established in 2014. We should copy it.

👎“You’d have to be crazy to buy a #FCEV, even considering the environmental angle,” he said. Almost seven years on, things aren’t turning out entirely as politicians may have hoped. The president Yoshiaki Aoki from MK West Group, a taxi operator in Kobe, a city on Osaka Bay in central Japan said that the experience has been somewhat underwhelming. It’s not that there’s anything wrong specifically with the cars, which are good-looking mid-size sedans with Lexus-level accoutrements. Rather, it’s the high 👉cost of hydrogen👈, which Aoki says should be subsidized more aggressively if the government is serious about using the fuel as a greener option.🤔 Two months into using the hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the cars 👉aren’t cost-competitive👈 compared to gasoline ones, Aoki said. The cars’ biggest selling point is they can be refilled, super quick — handy for a taxi company... But compared to a hybrid car, for example, the cost of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle rises by around ¥1 million ($7,100) if it runs 150,000 kilometers (93,200 miles) a year as a taxi, Aoki said. “You’d have to be crazy to buy a FCEV, even considering the environmental angle,” he said. “And customers aren’t prepared to pay extra money because the taxi they’re using is good for the environment.” ⚡There are only around 8,000 hydrogen-powered passenger vehicles in Japan, a minuscule portion of the some 80 million cars on the nation’s roads. ⚡"There’s no demand so there are no stations, and there are no stations so there’s no demand, and this has been going on for quite some time,” Yoshihiro Ueno, a senior executive manager at Air Liquide in Japan, said. ⚡It's “a chicken-and-egg problem,” said Ueno #IONAXS #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔👍

📣Another good news this week! ABB Terra 360, the most powerful charging station for electric vehicles, arrives in Lithuania! And it will be installed and operated by Eldrive Lithuania! 🔥 The charging station has a capacity of up to 360 kW and can fully charge some of electric cars in just 15 minutes. With more and more such stations in Lithuania, I think there will be no more considerations about whether to buy a car with an internal combustion engine or an electric car. I am very happy to contribute to the development of EV charging network in Lithuania!   💡You can read an interview with our CEO Tomas Tamasauskas about the significance of bringing these stations to Lithuania in the Delfi article. #ABBTerra360 #EldriveLithuania #evcharginginfrastructure #evchargingstation

This is indeed exciting, to see the modernization of water transport turn into vessels such as these.

Fascinating new tech that will move across waterways faster, more efficiently and with zero emissions.
