Paris has been testing its future taxi for days. It is called the "Sea Bubble" and is an electric and non-polluting aquatic vehicle. This type of transport has been tested on the Seine River for the purpose of exploring new ways of moving around the city due to atmospheric pollution.
Aside from sailing, these vehicles can glide half a meter above the water and can reach speeds of 12 to 30 miles per hour. Without noise and waves, its hydrogen engine produces no carbon dioxide.
The vehicle has the capacity to carry four passengers and one driver. Made of lightweight glass components and high-density foam, it is powered by two electric motors that use rechargeable lithium batteries in ports.
Also, while strange, the trip is very relaxing, as there is no violent movement that causes dizziness. It is specially designed for people who want to visit the city from a different perspective.
For less than 10 euros you can avoid the travel jams and enjoy the scenery of the French capital from the river. The launch of this innovative taxi network is expected by spring 2020.
SeaBubbles
Behind Hydroptère are aeronautical engineers and athletes at SeaBubbles. For decades, boats have been flying and once they realized they could be put to the public for beneficial use.
- View: In the company they believe that not only the well-being and pollution of the global network endanger the freedom of people's mobility.
In fact, by 2050 there will be 4 billion cars on the streets, and even if all are powered by clean energy, heavy traffic will still be generated. They believe that the future of mobility will rise from the water, a natural and historical path that has long been underestimated in cities.
What they do
They open waterways all over the world, creating a new way for people to ride at car speeds, at the cost of a conventional cab, without affecting the environment and urban infrastructure. It's the only zero-impact transportation ecosystem that is ready for now. So remember that James Bond car is available to everyone now, but with zero waves, zero noise and no CO2 emissions.
They make the best possible experience on waterways at SeaBubbles. In this way, people will be happy when choosing the type of transport that offers the most environmentally friendly solution. After all, SeaBubbles is fighting for people's freedom of movement in the city.
Where will they be in five years?
There are already 50 cities in the country already integrated into transportation systems and into people's daily routines. And as this inspires more and more people to take the waterways instead of roads, this will be a tremendous breakthrough for cities around the world. People will be able to change the fate of the city at the same time.
