We’ve built the world’s first hydrogen powered water taxi

Combining a wealth of technical expertise with a deep understanding of zero-emission technology, SWIM’s water taxi project will make the case for a clean maritime industry by demonstrating our fully integrated hydrogen-electric drivetrain for the first time.

The maritime industry has an enormous emissions footprint. This needs to change to save our planet.

There’s just one problem. Marine-focused hydrogen infrastructure is limited because there are no vessels that use it, and regulations must be modified to meet the needs hydrogen fueled projects that don’t exist… Yet.

Flying Fish, Zepp.Solutions and Enviu have come together to build the world’s first hydrogen powered water taxi that will make the case for hydrogen and demonstrate that a zero-emission maritime future isn’t just ambitious, but possible.
