Batobus Paris: Discovering the River Seine Responsibly
Since 2019, Batobus Paris has been converting its fleet of river tour boats to hybrid-electric propulsion technology, which reduces environmental impacts and ensures quieter navigation. Hybrid boats will also be able to switch to 100% electric power on sections of the route through the historic heart of Paris.

The six Batobus boats are to be converted to hybrid electric technology with the replacement of one of each boat’s two thermal generators with an electric battery pack. The reduction in GHG emissions is estimated at around 40%.
