Fleetzero

Company Description

Fleetzero is working to decarbonize cargo shipping by developing a fleet of smaller, more efficient, electric-powered ships that run on an innovative battery-swapping system. En route to their destination, Fleetzero ships dock at ports along their journey, unloading depleted lithium batteries and replenishing themselves with a fully-charged complement of new ones. Stored and assembled in transportable containers, batteries are shared across the fleet and allow for shorter stays at port than would be the case if each ship were recharged while at the dock. Along with shorter port-stays, battery swapping and sharing offers the economic benefit of reduced costs as a result of requiring fewer batteries per ship.
