Electric Ferry

Model made by www.SDModelMakers.com

Dimensions are for the transparent display case and base.

The award winning 600-passenger vessel was specifically designed for harbour tours of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. The propulsion system provides a silent, emissions-free experience for recreational cruise excursions. The hybrid system can automatically use full electric battery operation at slower speeds and when manoeuvring in and out of the harbour. At higher speeds, the generator will automatically engage and augment the additional power demands of the traction motor. Enhydra, which name stems from the Latin word for otter, was featured as American Ship Review's Vessel of the year and Workboat Magazine's Top Ten Significant Vessels of 2018. The propulsion system was designed by BAE Systems.
