'Nova' the world's first electric ferry begins operating its service for public transportation in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - NOVEMBER 19: "Nova", the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry cruises in the waters of central Stockholm as it begins operating its service for public transportation in Sweden on November 19, 2024. Nova is the new P-12 model developed by Swedish Manufacturer Candela using computer-controlled hydrofoil wings to lift its hull and fly one meter above the water, reducing energy consumption by 80% compared to traditional vessels by cutting water friction. Accordingly with the company, hydrofoil technology makes it the fastest electric ferry in the world and the fastest in Stockholm's public transport fleet.
