Reliance Industries, India’s largest private section company and consistently ranked among the top companies globally, led skyTran’s Series B funding. With this strategic partnership, Reliance seeks to develop a leapfrog technology over personal automotive solutions and facilitate environmental sustainability through use of alternative energy.
skyTran will tap into Reliance’s megaproject expertise, supply chain acumen, and recruiting reach to develop and deploy our globally disruptive technology.
Funded with a DoT grant, skyTran brought together visionaries and technologists across the mobility space.
Determined to engineer a high-speed maglev solution that would address the problem of traffic congestion, the team developed fundamentally new technology and 7 foundational patents. This led to Series A funding led by Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors.
skyTran achieves the capacity of a 3-lane freeway on a single track. We use state-of-the-art autonomy technology to deliver the highest levels of safety while moving more people in less space.
As lines expand into a city grid, vehicles flow across the system without congestion or slowdowns.
Our modular and prefabricated design can be deployed dramatically faster than traditional infrastructure.
With a small footprint and low cost, skyTran systems can be scaled and expanded over time to meet growing demand. For the same CapEx investment, skyTran can deliver a larger system that carries more people than either light rail or subways.
