We keep hearing about eco-friendly vehicles dominating the roads across the world. But Mochi Craft has thought about the remaining 71%, which is water. A branch of Ferretti Group, this organisation sailed in world’s first eco-vessel.
A hyrbid yatch, it was launched at the 48th Salone Nautico Internazaionale. The green tag comes from the hybrid propulsion system that is exclusively manufactured by Ferretti. In other words, twin MAN diesel inboards are attached to a 15-inch, touchscreen monitoring system; thus allowing the helmsman to be able to switch among three different propulsion modes with the swipe of a finger: diesel, diesel-electric, or just electric.

An amazing start indeed, because once such eco-friendly hybrid yatchs sail across the blue water the ever-increasing pollution level will come down. Plus with its diesel-engine combination, the 75-feet water bus leaves ten kilograms of carbon dioxide for each nautical mile. There is also a battery pack that too can power the boat. And in this diesel-electric mode, the vessel emits less than half a kilogram each nautical mile.

The RINA Green Star certifies that the Long Range 23, priced at a huge three million euros, comes with both enhanced hydrodynamic capability and static stability.
