About

Parallel Systems develops battery-electric autonomous freight rail technology designed to enable railroads to economically handle shorter and lower-density freight routes traditionally dominated by trucks. Founded in 2020 by former SpaceX engineer Matt Soule, the company targets the short-haul portion of the U.S. surface freight market, focusing on routes under 500 miles. The company has progressed from initial prototypes to commercial deployment under Federal Railroad Administration regulatory testing authorization, with several major railroads under contract for deployment.
