Currently, manufacturers have not identified a commercially viable way to provide sufficient battery range that trucks require on a daily basis without compromising the amount of cargo that can be hauled based on state, municipal, county, and federal regulations regarding their Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Glīd autonomous vehicles are perfectly situated to solve these problems.
Glīd’s focus is to enable the transportation of freight from road to rail autonomously and as simply as possible. The Company’s patent-pending technology will pick up a fully-loaded semi-trailer from a private property, access the rails and travel to the desired destination, where it will then egress from the rail onto another private property. Once on the property, trucks will pick up the trailers and carry the cargo the final mile.
The goal is to remove as much freight as possible from roads and highways, thus reducing carbon emissions, enabling for a more cost, process, and energy efficient transport, while making roads safer.
Glīd vehicles, when fully loaded with a semi-trailer, will be able to carry 3-4 times the amount of weight as an average semi-trailer. What this means is that Glīd vehicles can add more weight past the 80,000 lb gross weight limit for tractor-trailers because these vehicles will only go from private property to rail to private property. This additional weight can come in the form of additionally electrified capacity, which will increase the range these vehicles can travel.
This can provide significant opportunities for Glīd to capture revenue shipping freight that other electric vehicles may not be able to ship due to range issues.
