There are two basic freight applications…freight pods operating on the same system as the GoBFree cars and a special port application.
Freight Pods…The freight pod technology is a 24/7 automated freight system that silently delivers items into the cities at night or during the day. It is completely automated with no driver and uses computers to guide it to its destination. It could use some of the same technologies that currently exist in the highly automated delivery warehouses to the world outside the warehouses.
As the world fights global warming, developing battery powered freight is especially difficult. With heavier loads and items needing refrigeration it is impossible to have an economical battery powered freight delivery method. GoBFree freight solves that with the rail providing the electricity.
Port Application…This is a special application of the GoBFree technology that was developed in consultation with a technology advisor to the Ports of LA. It is a heavier system capable of carrying the large TEU containers that come off the ships and taking them to their destination in the port or surrounding city. Ports around the world are looking at electric delivery systems to fight global warming and the terrible particulate matter pollution from all the desel trucks. Please see the animation to better understand how the system works.
