Cargo MagRail Booster
– the first autonomous freight wagon for rail
Cargo MagRail Booster, a part of the MagRail product portfolio, is the world’s first retrofit solution for existing rail cars that uses an electromagnetic propulsion with a linear motor and allows each wagon to move independently without a locomotive.
The first autonomous freight wagon.
No wires. No locomotive. No limits.
Up to 160 km/h.
Zero emissions.
No new tracks required.
This is rail freight:
modern, smart, electrified and flexible.
This is a new era in freight transport.
And it’s already on track.
Technology ready for commercialization
The solution
Cargo MagRail Booster retrofits existing wagons with linear motor technology, turning them into fully autonomous, self-propelled units. They can run on conventional tracks – individually or in full trainsets – and connect or disconnect automatically.
State-of-play
Stepwise approach
MagRail Booster is applicable to any railway network. Due to regulation & approvals we start in non-public sidings, like ports, logistic and industrial zones. At a later stage then also in the open network
Sustainability
A solution that supports global efforts to cut transport-related CO₂ emissions and transforms existing infrastructure into a high-performance logistics network.
