Transforming Osaka’s Waterways With The Candela P-12 Electric Hydrofoil Ferry Into Public Transportation

Read Candela white paper: integrating the Candela P-12 electric hydrofoil ferry into public transport.

Our latest white paper dives deep into the challenges of urban mobility in Osaka – from traffic congestion to environmental impact – and presents a compelling solution with the Candela P-12.

What you will learn in this white paper:

• The Candela P-12 technology: deep dive into the innovative electric hydrofoil system, computer-controlled foils, near-silent C-POD electric motor, speed, range and minimal wake.

• Benefits for Osaka: breakdown of how the P-12 can significantly reduce commute times (e.g., cutting a 30-minute journey to under 10 minutes), position Osaka as an environmental leader with zero emissions, offer economic advantages through energy efficiency, stimulate urban development, and preserve waterway integrity.

• Implementation framework: concrete steps for integrating the P-12, including potential route identification, infrastructure needs, seamless integration with existing public transport, and regulatory considerations.

• Benchmark for success: insights from the Candela P-12’s successful “Nova” deployment in Stockholm’s public transport system since October 2024, validating its reliability, significant time savings, and efficiency in a demanding urban setting.

• Actionable recommendations: possible next steps for Osaka, including commissioning a formal feasibility study, engaging stakeholders, and launching a pilot program.

With the P-12, Osaka can turn its waterways into efficient, low-impact transport corridors—cutting commute times, enhancing citywide connectivity, and accelerating the shift to sustainable public mobility.

Read the full white paper and see how our team envisions the Candela P-12 redefining urban mobility for Osaka.
