Vedettes de Paris has inaugurated the Paris Trocadéro, its first 100% electric boat, marking a major step towards greener river cruising in Paris. This initiative significantly reduces the company's environmental footprint, with annual savings of 400,000 liters of diesel and the reduction of 1,250 tons of CO2. The project, described as a world first, was carried out in collaboration with various partners, including Haropa Port and BPIFrance. Vedettes de Paris plans to convert its other four boats by mid-2025, enhancing the passenger experience with noise-, vibration- and odor-free navigation
