Hydrogen as a New Energy Vector
We've made significant strides in integrating hydrogen technology as a key element in reaching our next goal. After two years of developing a hydrogen range extender (REX) for our first boat, the Dahu, we reached a major milestone in April 2024: the first hydrogen-powered foiling boat crossing from Lausanne to Evian. This 26km journey showcased hydrogen’s potential as a game-changing energy source for nautical transport.

This Year's New Horizons
In 2024, Swiss Solar Boat is focused on producing its new prototype, the Renewable Energy Foiler (REF). This involves extensive work with carbon technologies and testing key components like motors and electrical systems. The goal is to have the boat on the water by the end of 2025. They also plan to surprise supporters with events featuring their first boat, The Dahu, now hybrid with hydrogen, and aim to represent Swiss innovation at the Osaka World Expo in summer 2025. Follow them on LinkedIn and Instagram for updates.
- 2024: REF production, carbon tech, motors, fuel cell testing.
- 2025: REF launch, hybrid Dahu events.
- Osaka World Expo 2025, Swiss innovation.
