Overview

Parallel Systems is a freight rail technology company headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and founded in 2020 by former SpaceX engineers. The company builds autonomous battery electric rail vehicles that carry a single container each and couple into short platoons, aiming to move freight in smaller, more frequent loads than a locomotive hauled train. It has run federally approved test programmes with United States railroads and targets short haul routes currently served by trucks.
