Rail-Road Vehicle — a road-rail hybrid future Bashny.Net

There are no new original concept of freight transport of the future, called the Rail-Road Vehicle and combines two types of automobile and train.





At present, most major automakers are developing trucks of the future. The main purpose of the company to maximize the profitability of the transportation and maximum security. One of the concepts of such projects are unmanned trains are on the track together in a special column.

Good achievements in this direction have demonstrated the Chinese designers, recently revealed the original concept of a Rail-Road Vehicle which is the combination of trucks and trains. It may be objected that such a principle already involved in many European countries under the name of intermodal transport, when truck trailers are transported on special railway platforms.





The last option from the Chinese is different – in this case using a hybrid truck, which promptly transformirovalsya in rail transport, by the use of special pull-out trolleys.

Similar solutions are currently being used on some special models, like the Unimog, which are used as shunting locomotives. In Chinese concept, instead of the pull-out rails of the trucks, are the driving wheels, making the truck an analogue train locomotive.

When switching to the rail mode, these trucks may be together forming large structures. This concept will significantly reduce fuel costs and increase safety by giving most drivers a rest during travel on rails. In addition, significantly increase the speed of cargo transportation, as movement by rail is without traffic jams.

Another advantage of such cargo is the fact that coordinating the movement of Rail-Road Vehicle will meet the same train dispatching services. published
