"Seahorse Amphibious Vehicles has announced what it claims to be the world's first fully electric amphibious passenger vehicle. The vehicle will be operated by Big Bus Tours on a tour from London's Lack's Dock. The first all-electric model has completed both road and river testing and is r eady to enter service alongside the company's current fleets in Windsor and Liverpool in the UK, and Cape Town in South Africa."
"According to the British company, the new generation of Amphibious Passenger Vehicles (APVs) is the result of ten years of research and development, purpose-built to meet current UK maritime safety standards (MSN 1823) and the forthcoming ES-TRIN European regulations. Designed to carry 36 passengers and two crew members, the vehicle can operate for a full day on a single charge. Seahorse says it plans to scale production to 24 APVs per year within the next 12 months, from its 25,000-square-foot facilities in Slough and Southampton."
