1 year, 5 months agoDesigning and building fast, efficient, zero-emission hydrofoil boats for the high-speed craft market (HSC)
MobyFly designs and delivers zero-emission hydrofoil boats that promise to change waterborne travel forever.
WHAT WE DO
We offer a sustainable, practical, and significantly more cost-efficient mass transport solution that will benefit operators, municipalities, and passengers alike.
MobyFly's zero-emission hydrofoil boats are one of the most efficient forms of transportation in terms of energy consumption per passenger, requiring up to 95% less energy than any current diesel ferries.
WHY ZERO-EMISSION HYDROFOIL BOATS?
The existing market for ferries is huge: 2.1 BILLION passengers per year. It’s already as big as the commercial airline industry.
When it comes to transportation, one of the fastest ways to tackle climate change is to increase our use of the natural infrastructure of rivers, lakes, and coastal waterways.
Waterways are an abundant, natural infrastructure that doesn't take decades to build, consuming valuable resources, harming the environment, and costing billions of dollars.
MobyFly was founded by Sue Putallaz, Anders Bringdal, and Ricardo Bencatel. This team combined their collective experience in urban and transportation planning and the design of hydrofoil boats and software systems to establish a company that would be at the forefront of zero-emission mass transportation and help move the transition to net-zero forward.
MobyFly zero-emission hydrofoil boats will be capable of transporting passengers in comfort at speeds in excess of 70km/h while using 70% less energy than existing diesel ferries without creating any waves or pollution in the process.
