Langlois, new partner and supplier of Spacetrain, designer of an autonomous shuttle!
The Spacetrain project
Concerned about the mobility issues in our society, Emeuric Gleizes launches the “Spacetrain” project in 2017. This freestanding shuttle powered by air cushions on an inverted “T” monorail, is capable of carrying up to 250 passengers.
This new means of transportation is able to significantly reduce the time and cost of travel between two territories. The goal is to launch a first test shuttle by the end of 2020.
