Our Solution
Here’s the CRAIN solution: for passengers’ mobility the story starts at home with a mobile app that configures a modular rental car according to your travel’s needs, a car that gets on a high-speed train by itself allowing you to cover large distances fast and safe, a car that is re-charged while riding on the train.
For freight there will be a push-pull train with wagons dedicated to the transport of standard electric commercial vans that can operate on the whole rail network. The loaded commercial vans, hop-on hop-off at any terminal with independent and driverless operations and continue their travel up to destination (the so-called last mile). This model brings low investment costs and it’s feasible in short time.
The car becomes the train living compartment:
The steering wheel retracts
People can relax or work
enjoying the rail travel experience
enjoying the rail travel experience
The front seats turn
The rental cars have a specific size optimizing the space
and increasing Crain’s transportation capacity.

The best integration between car
and rail system: the car’s battery becomes
a key asset of brand new smart grid moving
at 300 km/h. A significant amount of energy storage both on-board and wayside
means a less stressed railway energy system
and paves the way to an extensive use of renewables and to an important level
of energy independence.

Dedicated CRAIN terminals are located in the outskirt of the large cities mostly redeveloping existing underused freight yards, where a better accessibility for cars is often ensured by the proximity of outer city rings junctions.
Road vehicles to be boarded are moving through virtual lanes with no interference with unboarding cars through a I2V automatic driving system.
