Venice's first fully electric water taxi, Lucietta, was unveiled by Swiss energy firm Repower. Designed by Nauta Design and built in Murano, Lucietta combines traditional Venetian styling with electric propulsion—powered by a 200 kW motor and 180 kWh battery system. It can cruise a full working day (7–20 km/h) on a single charge, emits no direct pollutants, and cuts energy use by around 60% compared to diesel boats.
