Stockholm Launches World's First Electric Hydrofoil Ferry

The new ferry, Nova, offers a faster and more eco-friendly commute, cutting travel time and emissions on Stockholm's waterways.

The Nova ferry, developed by Swedish start-up Candela, began operations, connecting Ekerö to Stockholm City Hall in just 30 minutes.
This electric hydrofoil ferry reduces energy consumption by 80%, making it significantly more efficient than traditional diesel ferries.
The Nova is exempt from speed limits in certain areas due to its no-wake design, allowing it to maintain higher speeds without disturbing other vessels.
The pilot project aims to encourage more commuters to use public water transport, promoting a shift towards greener urban transit solutions.
Candela's technology has attracted interest from cities worldwide, with orders placed from Berlin, San Francisco, and Venice, among others.
