WHO ARE WE
Founded in 2011, Quadrofoil is a high-tech development company with a team of skilled engineers, nautical enthusiast and visionaries, who designed and manufactured the revolutionary fully electric powered and completely environmentally friendly hydrofoiling watercraft.
WHAT WE DO
Our team created a vessel that sets new milestones in design, energy efficiency, driving characteristics and ecological awareness. Using C foil technology, Quadrofoil’s underwater wings and a patented steering system enable the watercraft to lift above the surface at just 12 km/h and offer the driver and the passenger a unique feeling of flying above the water and exceptional driving characteristics. We managed to successfully combine individual features and produce one of the most energy-efficient watercrafts on the market with operating costs well below EUR 1 for one hour’s drive and TCO (total cost of ownership) up to twenty-fold lower than an average petrol-fueled vessel.
NEW PRODUCTS
We are working on the family perfect Quadrofoil four-seater, the evolution of public transport – the Quadrofoil Taxi, and the ultimate ride for all racing enthusiasts – the Q1 racer.
OUR VALUES
At Quadrofoil, we believe that our actions today should reflect the future of our children. Therefore, we decided to design and produce a watercraft that is absolutely environmentally friendly and produces no emissions, marginal noise and only the tiniest of waves. We envision a world where green technology will no longer be considered as technology of the future, but the standard for all new innovations and products to come.
OUR MISSION
We aim to design and produce sustainable, green vessels that are the paragon of modern technology. From watercrafts for personal use to public and cargo transportation vessels, we aim to use our extensive knowledge for developing high-efficiency, eco-friendly means of transport – focusing on exploiting the physics behind the hydrofoil technology.
THE FUTURE
One of the biggest and most important projects we are working on, is developing frameworks for autonomous Quadrofoils, backed with a vessel-sharing platform, which will change the concept of intercity public and personal transportation. A new vision that represents the 21st century solution for overcrowded streets and pollution in almost all major cities around the worlds, making the Quadrofoil number one choice for eco-friendly and safe method of public and personal transportation.
