Parallel

It was a pleasure collaborating with the team at National Renewable Energy Laboratory on advanced modeling to validate the operational efficiencies that our battery-electric railcars could provide. Their analysis showed our technology could reduce both energy usage and travel time - a critical step toward building a faster, cleaner, and more resilient freight network. This is just the beginning! With our next-generation vehicle under development, we’re pushing to deliver even greater efficiency and impact.

Exciting news! Having successfully completed Phase 1 of the first-ever commercial test of Parallel’s autonomous rail system in partnership with Genesee & Wyoming Inc., we have launched #Phase2!   For those following this industry milestone, here is a peek behind the curtain: The Phase 1 testing was performed on a two-mile section of track on the Heart of Georgia Railroad. The Parallel vehicle was operated for a total of 90 miles, passing all safety milestones. Tests were also performed for speed, automatic compliance with track warrant limits, slow order bulletins, concurrent warrant limits and Form A slow order bulletins. In addition, the system’s communications links and monitors were verified to ensure proper connectivity and safety.    With this important milestone behind us, we have now launched Phase 2 of the test program over a 30-mile section of track. The test region includes 43 grade crossings that will all be protected with flaggers. During this phase we will evaluate system performance across different terrains, vegetation, and weather conditions. Our specific test activities include speed and position accuracy, stopping distance, audible warnings for grade crossings, and activation of grade crossing warning devices.   We will share more information as we proceed through testing - In the meantime, here are some great photographs from the start of Phase 2! #PilotTesting #Phase2 #AutonomousRail #HeartofGeorgia

This is rail, reimagined for the 21st century. 🌎🚆 Parallel’s autonomous battery-electric vehicles can travel in flexible platoons, reconfiguring quickly to serve different cargo needs and routes. By breaking free from the long-train model, we make short-haul freight by rail possible — offering shippers faster service, lower costs, and cleaner operations. It’s a new operating model for rail: adaptable, efficient, and ready for markets that have always relied on trucks. 📹 See how we’re making it happen! #CleanEnergy #FreightTech #RailPlatooning #ParallelSystems
