Port Capacity Doubles Overhead
An overhead rail network that moves 55‑foot containers between ship, yard, and Inland Empire warehouses automatically — clearing congestion, cutting diesel pollution, and running on 24/7 electric power with no charging stops.
The GoBFree Advantage
Developed with the assistance of a consultant to the Ports of LA, the GoBFree overhead rail system is a great solution for the automatic movement of large 55-foot freight containers around the ports and to Inland Empire warehouses. Our patent- pending technology could solve many of the most important problems facing port operators worldwide. Just like our GoBFree track for cars, we create a second dimension for travel using very energy-efficient, non-polluting electric motors.
Comparative Performance
Cost
Under 2 cents per mile operational cost
Environment
90% reduction in transportation air pollution.
Resilience
Operates at full speed during heavy weather.
Benefits of GoBFree Port Freight System
- Solves problem #1: Most major ports worldwide are surrounded by congested urban areas, leaving little room for expansion. Using the GoBFree port freight technology, we can double capacity in the existing footprint.
- Solves problem #2: While some ports have installed autonomous trollies, these slow-moving vehicles alongside trucks create mixed and potentially unsafe operations. Elevated GoBFree freight has minimal interference with existing operations.
- Solves problem #3: As the Ports of LA are learning (FreightWaves.com), electric and hydrogen trucks are 2 to 5 times more expensive to buy, are inconvenient due to frequent charging, and require installing 6,000 charging stations to handle 60,000 daily truckloads. Because our rail provides 24/7 electricity, there is no need for charging. Our vision is to install our system above existing railroad tracks to move containers not only around the ports but also to transshipment warehouses miles away.
- Solves problem #4: Diesel trucks are among the worst urban polluters, emitting deadly particulate matter that causes serious health problems, especially for young children. Making the problem worse is that many ports sit in basin areas, trapping pollution for millions of nearby city residents.
- Solves problem #5: The timing of container ship unloading and warehouse scheduling is out of sync, requiring the temporary storage of containers that occupy valuable port space. Our technology solves this problem with a multi-level automated freight yard in off-port locations.

The Global Shift to Autonomous Freight
From Walmart's tests in Arkansas to Alibaba’s logistics network in China and K-City in South Korea, the world is moving toward unmanned delivery. GoBFree provides the critical infrastructure these vehicles need to scale beyond geofenced zones.
The Seamless Journey
Experience true point-to-point travel without the friction of traditional mass transit.
Phase 1: Depot Loading
Freight pods are loaded at truck or rail depots. Using low-speed autonomous tech or remote operation, they navigate short distances on local pavement to the nearest GoBFree ramp.
Phase 2
Begin your journey exactly like you do today. Drive your compatible vehicle manually on local streets from your driveway to the nearest GoBFree network ramp.
Phase 3
Begin your journey exactly like you do today. Drive your compatible vehicle manually on local streets from your driveway to the nearest GoBFree network ramp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the mechanics and vision behind the next era of mobility.
Can GoBFree handle heavy freight?
Our pods are optimized for "mid-sized" freight, comparable to a small delivery van or box truck. This size is ideal for the high-frequency, last-mile demands of modern e-commerce.
What happens in bad weather like heavy rain or snow?
Safety is our foundational engineering principle. The GoBFree system utilizes redundant Level 5 autonomous sensors, dedicated grade-separated infrastructure (meaning no intersections or pedestrian conflicts), and a centralized traffic management system. This eliminates human error, which is responsible for 94% of traditional traffic accidents.
Is it really more cost-effective than public transit?
Safety is our foundational engineering principle. The GoBFree system utilizes redundant Level 5 autonomous sensors, dedicated grade-separated infrastructure (meaning no intersections or pedestrian conflicts), and a centralized traffic management system. This eliminates human error, which is responsible for 94% of traditional traffic accidents.
Can my current electric vehicle be retrofitted?
Safety is our foundational engineering principle.
