Overview of the year
Lucietta blends innovation, design and local culture
June
Lucietta is a fully electric boat tailored by Repower to the requirements of urban transport in Venice.
From the outset, the project aimed to show that performance, design and environmental compatibility can be reconciled even in a sensitive, highly regulated ecosystem. Lucietta combines quiet operation, high comfort and zero local emissions. The fully electric boat takes up an iconic vehicle from Venetian tradition and reinterprets it in a contemporary design language.
This aspiration also influenced the choice of materials: the interior features elements made from recycled Murano glass. They were developed in collaboration with Rehub, a start-up that processes industrial waste into a new, sustainable raw material and won Repower’s innovation award in 2023. This means that Lucietta also embodies applied circularity at the interface between technology and regional craftsmanship.

Lucietta was presented in June 2025 at the boat show in Venice and later at the 82nd International Film Festival, which Repower once again supported as a sponsor. The project met with a broad response in the media and at institutions. A special moment was the visit of Swiss Federal Councillor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider on board the Lucietta during the Architecture Biennale in Venice.
“Lucietta clearly demonstrates what innovation means to Repower: not only developing technology, but doing so with respect for places and communities and their cultural value,” explains Davide Damiani, Sales Promotion.
Repower received further recognition with an honorary Compasso d’Oro international award, which was presented at the Expo Japan in the Casa Italia in Osaka. The project was particularly praised for its ability to combine form, function and sustainability in a complex urban environment.
Lucietta enables Repower to position itself as an industrial partner providing tailormade solutions translating renewable energy, electromobility and regional identity into concrete projects.
