Each year, some 20 million cars, vans and trucks cross the country’s many fjords on roughly 130 ferry routes.

Following two years of trials of the world’s first electric car ferry, named Ampere, ferry operators are busy making the transition from diesel to comply with new government requirements for all new ferry licensees to deliver zero- or low-emission alternatives.

“We continue the work with low-emission ferries because we believe it will benefit the climate, Norwegian industry and Norwegian jobs,” Prime Minister Erna Solberg said in a speech in April 2016, in which she vowed to help fund required quayside infrastructure.

Each ferry would save about a million litres of diesel per year, helping to reduce energy costs by 60% or more, says Odd Moen, head of sales at Siemens’ marine division.
