The project will start in December 2024 and should achieve full automation within three years\u201d, Nevomo specified.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span id=\"more-58587\"><\/span>The project has been christened BREMAG (short for Bremen Magnetic Shuttle). It will entail the deployment of Nevomo\u2019s technology to move steel coils between ArcelorMittal\u2019s production sites in Bremen along a 100-kilometre stretch. The six million euros needed for the BREMAG initiative are coming from the German Ministry of Transport via its Future of Rail Freight Transport (Z-SGV) programme.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/technology\/2023\/12\/20\/nevomo-starts-homologation-procedure-for-magrail-booster\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Nevomo-wagon-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/technology\/2023\/12\/20\/nevomo-starts-homologation-procedure-for-magrail-booster\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">Nevomo starts homologation procedure for MagRail Booster<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>Nevomo\u2019s MagRail booster<\/h2>\n<p>The project revolves around Nevomo\u2019s MagRail booster. This is a hyperloop-inspired technology that can be applied to existing rail infrastructure and rolling stock, allowing the independent movement of railway wagons without the need for a locomotive. Wagons need to be equipped with the MagRail Booster, while components are also added to the tracks to enable magnetic levitation.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership with Captrain DE and ArcelorMittal will be the first large-scale test for Nevomo, after the unveiling of the MagRail Booster in Poland in September 2023. These first tests, carried out in Nowa Sarzyna in Poland, proved that non-friction operations are possible. This was the first instance in which a wagon travelled by \u2018floating\u2019 on the infrastructure.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/technology\/2023\/09\/11\/first-magrail-test-proves-non-friction-operations-possible\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/%C2%A9-Nevomo-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/technology\/2023\/09\/11\/first-magrail-test-proves-non-friction-operations-possible\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">First MagRail test proves non-friction operations possible<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14791,14578,14792,82,13932,8245,47,48],"tags":[12634],"class_list":["post-158918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arcelormittal","category-bremen","category-captrain-deutschland","category-germany","category-magrail-booster","category-nevomo","category-rail-news","category-technology","tag-railfreight"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=158918"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":158954,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158918\/revisions\/158954"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=158918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=158918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=158918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
