Intramotev is a St. Louis-based company founded in 2020 to develop autonomous, zero-emission rail solutions that decrease railway costs and promote environmental responsibility across a longstanding yet dated freight segment plagued by diesel pollution.

Today, the company shared video footage of its TugVolt battery electric railcar retrofit deployed at a calcium mine in Michigan.

TugVolt can be controlled from a smartphone and decouple from the consist (the group of railcars as a whole), and operate independently for first—and last-mile legs of trips on existing freight lines.
