00:00waterways are perhaps the oldest method of transportation however traveling by boat is

00:08also one of the slower forms today enter candela's p12 electric hydrofoil which glides over the water

00:14increasing its speed and reinvigorating waterway transport in the 21st century the boat can fit

00:19some 25 passengers and includes space for wheelchairs priority seating and bikes meaning

00:25this could revolutionize a cross-water trip for everyday commuters the company's founder and ceo

00:30gustav hasselskog says that one of the biggest hurdles with passenger ferries today comes down

00:35to time and money they're too slow to be appealing to commuters and use way too much costly fuel but

00:41this passenger hydrofoil solves both of those problems and with the technology we use which is

00:47hydrofoils combined with electric dry trade we reduce the energy consumption with 75 percent yeah

00:53so this trips takes normally there's something around 50 minutes and and we can do that in 25

00:59minutes so we have to commute in time and since it glides above the water even at those high speeds

01:04it does not create awake meaning it can operate at higher speeds in waterways where it would normally

01:09have to move much more slowly
