​Svenska elbåts-startupen Candela tar in investering från TED:s Chris Anderson

Stockholm & New York, 10 September, 2020.

Stockholmsföretaget Candela Speed Boat, som utvecklar elektriska bärplansbåtar, tar in nytt riskkapital från ett antal finansiärer, däribland entreprenören och chefen för TED, Chris Anderson.

“Vi befinner oss i ett avgörande ögonblick på vägen mot en hållbar framtid. Alla typer av transporter måste ske med hållbar energi. Medan elektrifieringen av bilar har fått upp farten, släpar sjöfarten efter – men troligen inte länge till. Det var därför fantastiskt att upptäcka Candela, ett företag som efter fem års utveckling nu levererar vackra båtar med den unika kombinationen av hög fart och lång räckvidd på el, tack vare ett nytt bärplanssystem. Jag är extremt förväntansfull över vad teknologin kommer att leda till på några års sikt, säger Chris Anderson i ett uttalande.

Gustav Hasselskog, VD och Grundare Candela:

”Jag är både stolt och tacksam över att ha Chris med ombord. Han är en sann humanist och visionär som främjar idéer som leder till en bättre värld. Och dessutom en skicklig entreprenör. Tack vare den här investeringen kan vi skala upp vår utveckling och snabba på utfasningen av fossila drivkällor på våra sjöar och hav”.

Candelas första serieprodukt, fritidsbåten Candela Seven, är utrustad med företagets unika bärplanssystem – vingar under båten – som lyfter hela skrovet ovanför vattenytan. Bärplanen minskar friktionen jämfört med vanliga båtskrov vilket ger en elektrisk räckvidd på 92 km i 22 knop – tre gånger så långt som andra elbåtar på marknaden, trots ett mindre batteripack.

Tack vare sensorer, mjukvara och datorer rör sig bärplanen hela tiden automatiskt för att stabilisera båten, vilket leder till en dramatiskt mjukare gång även i grov sjö och sidovind. Dessutom minskar driftskostnaderna med cirka 95 procent jämfört med fossildrivna båtar.

Om Candela Speed Boat AB

Candela grundades år 2014 av ingenjören och entreprenören Gustav Hasselskog. Efter fem års utveckling startade företaget massproduktionen av sin första produkt, den sju meter långa fritidsbåten Candela Seven, år 2019.

Seven byggs på Candelas fabrik i Gåshaga, Stockholm. Det multidisciplinära ingenjörsteamet består av ledande experter från bland annat Eurocopter (structural composite engineering), stridsflygplanet Saab Gripen (elektronik), Artemis and Oracle racing (hydrodynamik), Scania (transmission & hydraulik) och några av världens ledande universitet (dynamisk modellering och kontrollsystem).
