The Innobarge Project – The details

Objective
The InnoBarge Project creates an autonomous electrically powered barge system using the inland river system to relieve truck congestion on the highways and provide an ecologically appropriate and economically sound solution to shippers in meeting the logistic demands of business and retail companies.  A new port design includes a solar field.  The photovoltaic energy powers logistic companies located at the port and the energy needs of the InnoBarge fleet.
