Transportation entrepreneur Michael Tornabe from Logan Bus Company delves into the Jpod vehicle system and significance in Europe, where it is to be imported.
WHITE PLAINS, NY, June 15, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Well-known inventor and entrepreneur Michael Tornabe was excited to delve into futuristic transportation concepts with his audience in New York City earlier this month. In specific, he led a session discussing the JPod system, which is set to take off with capital-raising to commercialize their proprietary Personal Rapid Transit system in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Based on Minnesota's JPods LLC's technology, Mr. Michael Tornabe explained that the company's system would power JPod vehicles through power-conductor wiring supported by the railway's support structures. "The system has been designed to withstand extreme elements and can attain speeds as high as 30-40 mph", he described, further stating that the loading capacity would vary according to the vehicle type.
The car-technology aficionado went to explain exactly what PRT was. "PRT was designed to provide on-demand, automated and non-stop network transportation using specially-designed guideways. The Jpod vehicle itself is small, efficient and computer-operated for transportation of humans and cargo. Overhead rail suspension enables the vehicle's running."
He stated that exportation of this unique technology to Europe in partnership with a Swiss-based Festel Capital provider provides a noteworthy prospects for Minnesota, as well as providing sustainable infrastructural expansion in the countries concerned. The partnership, he added, was intended to raise funds among Local Mobility Companies to apply the JPod proprietary technology wherever they are based.
"These LMCs work alongside various community members that would be pivotal to the success of the partnership including media, neighborhood groups, elected officials and private investors." He concluded by saying the building of a JPod network could lead to the recruitment of hundreds of LMCs in prominent cities within the three countries, in turn providing a sustainable, efficient and eco-friendly transport solution that could be implemented in many other places.
