Rail & Landside Innovation
Session Overview
Speaker: Kevin A. Damoa, Founder and CEO, Glid
Glīders operate autonomously on private rail networks, bypassing the complexities of public road regulations while maintaining cutting-edge safety standards. By seamlessly transitioning between road and rail, Glīders eliminate bottlenecks at congested ports and yards, revolutionizing freight transportation speed. This rail-based solution reduces road congestion and accidents while meeting the highest safety standards set by rail authorities. Fully electric Glīders deliver superior range and efficiency compared to traditional diesel trucks, dramatically reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
