Parallel Systems is a company based in Los Angeles, California, operating in the railroad equipment manufacturing sector. It develops autonomous, battery-electric rail vehicles intended to transfer freight from trucks to rail, with the goal of safer, more efficient, and lower-emission freight movement. The technology is designed to integrate with existing rail operations and to help railroads reach new markets, ease highway congestion, and reduce shipping costs and pollution. Its target customers are railroads and freight operators seeking to shift intermodal traffic from road to rail. In 2025, the company received approval for a pilot program in Georgia, signaling a step toward broader deployment. The company positions itself within the emerging field of autonomous freight mobility, aiming to complement traditional rail infrastructure rather than replace it.
