« Hirondelle » and « Gondole » are both " BatCUB "" of the Bordeaux city . These 50 passengers catamarans designed by ORION in partnership with ECA EN , the specialist of the electronics power and hybrid propulsion and SAFT the battery specialist. These vessels are an integral part of the KEOLIS network of Bordeaux city public transportation (Busses and Tramways). These river shuttles are propulsed with an extremely innovative diesel / electric hybrid motorization.
Three ways of propulsion mode are possible:
· « All electric » : Propulsion in a perfect silence, during several hours, by a pack of lithium-ion batteries LifePO4 (developed by SAFT).
· « Diesel-electric » : Two gen sets assure the propulsion securily .
· « Electric hybrid ": generating sets, working in 25 % of load, loading batteries and assure the propulsion
