Nevomo
Convertible Note in 2022
Nevomo develops next-generation rail technology that enables hyperloop-inspired transport by combining magnetic levitation, a passive magrail system and autonomous control to upgrade existing railway lines. The magrail concept allows retrofitting conventional rails to support higher speeds—up to 300 kph on standard lines and 415 kph on high-speed corridors—while preserving existing rolling stock. The technology can progress to vacuum-based systems (hyperrail) with potential speeds of 600 kph on normal lines and 1000 kph on high-speed lines, and ultimately to vacuum tube corridors for top speeds around 1200 kph. Capex for retrofitting is estimated at 6-8 million euros per kilometer, substantially lower than new high-speed line builds. Early energy and maintenance advantages arise from reduced mechanical friction and overall system efficiency. Founded in 2017, Nevomo has pursued proofs of concept and demonstrations, and collaborates with partners such as TME Transfer Multisort Electronics and Microsoft, supported by a multinational R&D team and an international advisory board.
