Beecle: The Next-Generation Service Cart for Ships
The maritime industry is embracing sustainability with the introduction of Beecle, a new electric service cart set to revolutionize ship operations. Unveiled at the upcoming
Sea Japan 2026, Beecle offers a
gasoline-free alternative to traditional service carts, boasting zero greenhouse gas emissions. This innovative concept utilizes recycled electric golf carts, promoting both crew health and environmental preservation.
A Powerful Solution for Eco-Friendly Operations
Unlike conventional service carts, Beecle features a
zero-emission design powered by regenerative lead-acid batteries. Its maximum speed is limited to
12 km/h, significantly reducing the risk of incidents onboard ships. Additionally, this electric vehicle generates no waste heat during operation, ensuring a comfortable and safe onboard environment. As a solution aligned with the steps toward a decarbonized society, the Beecle represents a practical and immediate approach to environmental conservation.
Emulating Nature's Finest Workers
Beecle’s sleek and agile design allows it to navigate tight spaces on ships with ease, reminiscent of a
busy bee darting among flowers. The name Beecle is a fusion of the terms 'Bee' for the industrious insect, 'Vehicle,' and 'Reuse,' emphasizing its commitment to sustainability. This next-generation service cart not only solves the problems associated with gasoline-powered vehicles but also aligns perfectly with the maritime industry’s shift towards greener operations.
Safety Comes First
Safety is the utmost priority when it comes to Beecle's design. In the confined spaces of a ship, excessive speeds can pose serious dangers. Therefore, Beecle incorporates speed limits to safeguard crew members. The driver's seat is designed for optimal visibility, ensuring that the operator can clearly see in all directions. The windshield extends across the entire front, with a frame designed to minimize visual obstruction. Moreover, additional features such as a patrol light and background music for navigation further enhance safety during operation.
Committed to the Environment
Beecle sets itself apart by being a
fully reusable cart. By leveraging existing materials rather than introducing new resources, it offers remarkable value while protecting the environment. The body of the cart is made from previously used electric golf carts, and its power supply relies on regenerative lead-acid batteries. Furthermore, the absence of gasoline usage eliminates the need for transporting fuel onboard, thus reducing operational costs.
Customization Options for Every Ship
Recognizing that every ship is unique, Beecle offers extensive customization to fit various needs. Features like the size of the loading area or the inclusion of headlights can be tailored to meet specific requirements, ensuring that no two Beecle carts are alike. Please note that customization may incur additional costs.
Upcoming Display at Sea Japan 2026
Beecle will be showcased at the
Sea Japan 2026 exhibition, taking place from
April 20 to 22, 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight. The company NY Co., based in
Minato-ku, Tokyo, will present the Beecle, offering insights and proposals regarding this innovative product.
