About

Parallel Systems develops autonomous, battery-electric rail vehicles that integrate into today's rail operations to deliver a safer, cheaper alternative to trucking. Its vehicles haul intermodal containers up to 500 miles on a single charge, self-sort and assemble into platoons, and transmit vehicle health and position data through onboard sensors. The company's software integrates with railroad business and train control systems so railroads can serve shorter and lower-density routes at prices competitive with trucks, while reducing highway congestion and pollution.
