Volvo delivered an hybrid vessel to explore Svalbard archipelago
North of mainland Europe, it is about midway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole (
Wikipedia). Volvo Penta is running a pilot project with Svalbard’s oldest tourist operator, Hurtigruten Svalbard, to test a state-of-the-art hybrid Marell M15 vessel called
Kvitbjørn (’Polar Bear’ in English) that will change how tourists experience this natural wonder, delivering near-silent operation and creating a more enjoyable experience for tourists and wildlife alike.
