Nevomo is a pioneering company focused on developing advanced High-Speed Railways (HSR) using magnetic levitation, linear motor technology, and autonomous control systems. It is unique in its approach to gradually introducing Hyperloop-inspired solutions to the railway industry, through its patented magrail technology. This technology enables the modernization of conventional railway lines to achieve speeds of up to 300 kph (186 mph) and 415 kph (258 mph) on upgraded HSR lines, while maintaining the functionality of existing rail systems. Furthermore, the magrail system can transition into a hyperrail vacuum system, potentially reaching speeds of 600 kph (373 mph) and 1000 kph (621 mph). The company estimates that the capital expenditure for retrofitting existing railway infrastructure to magrail standards is comparable to highway construction, significantly lower than traditional HSR line costs. Additionally, the energy and maintenance costs associated with the magrail system are expected to be lower than those of conventional HSR systems. Founded in 2017, Nevomo has secured substantial funding and established partnerships with notable firms, while its research team includes experts with extensive experience in high-speed railway systems.
