Read more about the AVATAR project in the Sterck Oost-Vlaanderen Magazine (Article in Dutch).

In AVATAR, a new (highly) automated vessel for city logistics will be built (OHB, Urban Waterway Logistics, E. VAN WINGEN NV, SEAFAR), running on batteries.

In the corresponding energy use case, E. VAN WINGEN NV performs research on charging the batteries at night (using a ICE CHP running on hydrogen).

More information (in Dutch) can be found in a recent article in the Sterck Oost-Vlaanderen Magazine. The full article can be found here (pages 48-49). Project partners Tom Pauwels,Peter Geirnaert and Jean-Pierre Van Wingen have been interviewed.

The article shows that AVATAR is also a perfect fit with the "Smart Logistics" cluster of Innovation Playground Oost-Vlaanderen. East Flanders is a playground for researchers and investors for start-ups and entrepreneurs and for anyone who wants to change the world.
