The hyke Shuttle
A NEW ERA FOR FERRIES
A transformation of the ferry industry is long overdue. Meet the Hyke solution: electric, smart ferries designed to provide a cleaner, smarter, more modern water-based answer to urban mobility.
SMART TECHNOLOGY
FOR SMART CITIES
Our ferry system is filled with intelligent features to make managing a fleet easier than ever. We have integrated every Hyke boat with our proprietary smart vessel control technology. This enables operators to improve safety through the auto-docking function supported by sensor packs, reduce costs by requiring less staff, and optimize vessel deployment to increase efficiency. Besides the smart functions, the ferry and docking system follows a standardized design so that it is compatible with existing infrastructure.
SAFELY TRANSITIONING
TO FULL AUTONOMY
We build our own autonomous vessel control technology into every vessel from day one. This enables the development, validation, and approval of autonomous operations, which improves safety and efficiency while reducing costs. Over time, ferry operators can lean on autonomous technology more and more to operate with fewer on-board personnel without compromising safety. With autonomy, we can scale up waterborne transportation and deliver on its many economic, social, and environmental promises.

TRANSPORTATION
It’s time to say goodbye to noisy, polluting vessels on our waterways. Hyke ferries provide a clean, quiet, and energy-efficient alternative, featuring an all-electric drivetrain, a highly efficient hull, and an advanced thermal system. Power is delivered sustainably through rooftop solar panels and automatic wireless charging at the dock, ensuring smooth, emission-free operation. Operators can also integrate backup batteries into the jetties to reduce reliance on costly grid upgrades and increase energy resilience.
This innovative setup not only cuts emissions but also lowers long-term operating costs.
Hyke is designed to make sustainable water transport both practical and scalable.
A TRULY ENJOYABLE RIDE
We have designed the ferry experience of the future. Created by an award-winning boat design team, the exterior is sleek and simple, while the interior is spacious and air-conditioned. Being electric, Hyke ferries operate without noise and emissions. More importantly, it was designed with accessibility in mind so that everyone, including those with limited mobility or who ride bicycles, can get on and off with ease. Our ferries are a more efficient and user-friendly alternative to land transit, making it an easy choice to “take a Hyke!”

SEAMLESS CONNECTION
BETWEEN
WATER AND LAND
Our electric vessels connect to an intelligent docking system with auto-centering and auto-mooring technology, which creates a safe, stable connection even with wind and waves. As soon as the ferry is safely docked, it automatically starts charging wirelessly. This increases run-time without requiring larger batteries, reducing weight and cost. The docking system utilizes standard jetty modules for a solution that is low-cost, compatible with existing jetties, and easy to deploy or move when required.
