 MV "Ampere" is the world's first battery electric car ferry, developed and built in Norway.Its development was the result of a competition, launched by the country's Ministry of Transport and Communications in 2011, to develop an environmentally friendly ferry service between the two villages.It is reported that she avoids the use of one million litres of diesel annually and offsets 570t of carbon dioxide and 15t of nitrogen oxide emissions compared to a conventional ferry on the same route.
