The video was released following the news that Parallel Systems has been selected to receive US$4,438,897 from the US Department of Energy (DOE) as part of its Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) initiative.
The ARPA-E program will fund a 29-month advanced testing program with Parallel’s autonomous, battery-powered rail vehicles and a range of partners starting in the second quarter of 2022.
Parallel came out of stealth mode in January of 2022, with the company unveiling its prototype and plans for a system to help overhaul the way the country approaches freight.
