Revolutionising Transport for a Sustainable Future
Transport is a significant source of global emissions, making innovative solutions vital for a cleaner future. Aotearoa New Zealand is at the forefront, with three pioneering companies redefining navigation on land and water.
Vessev: A New Era on Water
Vessev is transforming marine transport by launching the world’s first electric hydrofoiling passenger vessel, the VS-9. This cutting-edge craft is designed to provide a smoother and more stable ride than traditional ferries, using advanced techniques similar to America’s Cup boats.
The VS-9 not only enhances the passenger experience but also cuts operating costs by up to 90%. By flying above the waves, Vessev is setting a new standard for on-water travel, making it both economically efficient and planet-friendly.
Ohmio: Innovating Urban Mobility
Ohmio is dedicated to making transport safer and more efficient through their innovative self-driving technology. Their autonomous vehicles are designed to operate on predetermined routes, allowing for quick deployment.
The Ohmio LIFT, their flagship shuttle, is operational at New York’s JFK Airport and has been successfully piloted in New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Luxembourg, Finland, the Netherlands, and the UK.
By utilising artificial intelligence, Ohmio vehicles learn their routes over time, enhancing performance and safety. With no emissions and reduced noise, Ohmio’s transport solutions contribute to a more sustainable environment while improving accessibility for all.
ZeroJet: Tenders That Love the Planet
ZeroJet has created the world’s lightest electric jet tender, eliminating the need for combustion engines on small watercraft.
Pollution-free and silent, it offers a serene experience on the water – just you, the ocean, and a rechargeable battery.
With features like fast-charging capabilities and an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, it’s an innovation that delivers the perfect balance of performance and runtime. The jet system’s super-low profile allows it to beach easily and skim over shallow reef ecosystems.
