Nevomo, a Poland-based company specialising in magnetic rail technology, is launching a pilot project in cooperation with rail operator Captrain Deutschland and steel company ArcelorMittal. \u201cThe aim is to introduce the world’s first fully automated freight wagon transport system using existing vehicles and rail infrastructure. The project will start in December 2024 and should achieve full automation within three years\u201d, Nevomo specified.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The project has been christened BREMAG (short for Bremen Magnetic Shuttle).
