(GEGI), the maker of the autonomous road-to-rail patent-pending shipping technology Glīd, announced that its Subsidiary Glīd has joined The Teaming Partner List for ARPA-E's potential upcoming program on Intermodal Freight Modeling. The new Exploratory Topic under Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) DE‐ FOA‐0002784 and DE‐FOA‐0002785 are to develop modeling tools to assist in the optimization of the national intermodal freight transportation system. The tools will provide guidance in both deployment of future low-carbon infrastructure and assets, as well as operational logistics improvements to minimize transportation-related energy and emissions while maximizing resiliency. Programs and funding opportunities led by the government are currently targeted towards enhancing, modernizing, and sustaining intermodal transportation in the United States as the world continues to explore areas to decarbonize freight logistics while significantly lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is reported that freight transportation accounts for over 10% of total emissions globally with rail and road transport accounting for a large percentage of that number. Up until now light through heavy duty ground vehicles have been the primary focus for clean energy efforts, however it is becoming ever more apparent that the attention towards rail innovation and safety is warranted in the United States. “Significant opportunities for emissions and energy reduction exist via operational improvements and optimization, but the extreme complexity of the system makes it near impossible for any one entity to realize these. We're trying to change that!”, stated a fellow at APRA-E, Department of Energy (DOE). According to the DOE website: “The intermodal freight industry has a good sense for what technology options will be available (e.g., battery energy storage, hydrog...
