For a little over a year now, a new vehicle has been plying the waters of Stockholm, changing the way thousands of people cross the city. It is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/candela.com\/pro-series\/p-12-shuttle\/\">Candela P-12 Shuttle<\/a><\/strong>, an <strong>electric ferry equipped with hydrofoils<\/strong> that dramatically reduces friction, fuel consumption and wake by raising the hull above the surface. The results of the pilot project, released by the Swedish Transport Administration, tell of a successful trial: halved times and a net cut in climate-changing emissions.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-corridoio-veloce-tra-periferia-e-centro\"><strong>A fast corridor between the suburbs and downtown<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The route between Eker\u00f6, a residential suburb to the west, and the administrative heart of the capital has become an open-air laboratory. Where it used to take about 55 minutes, <strong>it now takes just over 30<\/strong> minutes. The cruising speed, allowed by a special exemption from traditional limits, has turned a slow crossing into a credible alternative to the car and clogged buses. Not coincidentally, passenger numbers have grown by more than 22 percent, a sign of latent demand just waiting for competitive service.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meno-emissioni-meno-rumore\"><strong>Less emissions, less noise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The environmental benefit is even more obvious. Data collected indicate a <strong>reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of around 94 percent<\/strong> compared to diesel ferries of the same capacity. An achievement that weighs in a region where public water transportation contributes significantly to the overall carbon footprint. <strong>Noise impact also drops to unusual levels for a vessel<\/strong>: perceived noise is equivalent to that of a car at moderate speed and becomes almost inaudible as early as 25 meters away. The reduced wakes, comparable to those of a small inflatable boat, limit bank erosion and disturbance to ecosystems.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-tecnologia-sotto-lo-scafo\"><strong>Technology under the hull<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>At the heart of the system is a set of<strong> carbon fiber foils controlled by software <\/strong>that adjusts their tilt in real time. As speed increases, these &#8220;wings&#8221; generate lift and lift the boat, stabilizing it even in waves or wind. The dramatic reduction in drag allows <strong>longer distances<\/strong> to be <strong>covered on battery power alone<\/strong>, without sacrificing comfort and regularity of service. In addition, the required charging infrastructure is simpler than that of conventional electric ferries, lowering operating costs.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oltre-stoccolma\"><strong>Beyond Stockholm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Replacing two diesel units with six P-12s would allow departures every 15 minutes, a 150 percent increase in capacity, and socioeconomic benefits estimated at SEK 119 million. Numbers that have attracted the attention of other cities: Berlin, Mumbai, and some tourist destinations between the Maldives and Thailand have already announced orders or plans for adoption. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the mosaic of ecological transition, the &#8220;flying&#8221; ferry shows how purposeful innovation can reactivate forgotten infrastructure. Thus, in Stockholm, water once again becomes a fast, clean, and reliable route capable of reshaping the daily geography of urban travel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Candela P-12 battery-powered hydrofoil reduces travel time, emissions and noise, bringing waterways back to the center of urban mobility<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":15459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowscnaCw:productID":"","_app_feed_target":"main","footnotes":""},"categories":[1634],"tags":[2232,1825],"class_list":["post-15458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mobility","tag-ferry","tag-mobility"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The electric ferry that shortens distances on Stockholm&#039;s water &#8226;
