Elevating the future of freight
above and beyond congested corridors.
What is Green Corridors?
Green Corridors is revolutionizing freight transportation with its proprietary, fully autonomous intelligent freight transportation system. The system relieves traffic congestion by moving freight off the road and onto elevated guideways, resulting in increased efficiency, sustainability, security and road safety.
Green Corridors offers the logistics industry innovative freight transportation services by moving semi-truck trailers and sea containers across international borders, between a seaport and an inland terminal or through key trade corridors. Designed for today’s transportation providers, port authority and terminal operators, logistics companies will book freight directly on Green Corridors’ innovative system on behalf of their customers.
Green Corridors’ suite of technology – including automated inland terminals, autonomous freight shuttles and elevated guideway infrastructure – drives economic growth, enables industrial development and generates job opportunities. Inland terminals will serve as hubs for commerce and logistics services, promoting sustainable development and supporting the economic vitality of surrounding communities.
Our Concept
Cutting-edge infrastructure and technology bypasses traffic congestion by implementing state-of-the-art, low-emission shuttles traveling on elevated guideways.
We’re ushering in a transformation
in freight transportation
Bypassing gridlock
By elevating above intersections, people, and traffic, we avoid the congestion below and allow freight to move freely. Our approach bypasses the gridlock, avoids delays, and thus improves efficiency.
Optimized operations
Our simplistic approach involves re-routing freight traffic and employing intelligent fleets of autonomous shuttles and fully-automated inland terminals to enable faster connections and more effective use of current infrastructure.
Cleaner routes
Our autonomous constantly moving, energy-efficient, low-emission shuttles replace idling trucks. We improve air quality and create a sustainable freight system for future generations.
