Glid Unveils Autonomous Road-to-Rail Freight Vehicle
Raden Hybrid System Aims to Revolutionize First-Mile Logistics
[Stay on top of transportation news: .]
Glid Technologies has introduced Raden, an autonomous hybrid-electric vehicle that can operate on both roads and rails, designed to improve the first mile of freight logistics.
The unmanned vehicle is built for complex and off-grid environments where traditional logistics systems are limited. Raden allows freight transfers between road and rail without requiring new rail infrastructure, according to the company.
Powering the system is Glid’s proprietary software, Ezra-1Six, an artificial intelligence orchestration stack that manages command, control and fleet-scale autonomy. The platform coordinates both manned and unmanned vehicles across industrial sites, ports, rail corridors and national security zones.
“Autonomous road to rail is the future of freight infrastructure, and it is already underway,” said Kevin Damoa, founder and CEO of Glid Technologies. “Raden and Ezra-1Six prove that first-mile logistics can be autonomous working in harmony with human labor today, not five years from now.”
Glid describes its approach as focused on enabling autonomous first-mile freight transfer in areas where conventional logistics infrastructure is too costly or impractical. The company says its technology is intended to integrate automation into existing transport networks rather than replace human operations.
