Voltify builds energy infrastructure for freight rail, developing battery-electric locomotives, on-route charging systems and renewable microgrid networks intended to replace diesel-powered rail operations. Its technical work spans battery-electric propulsion, energy storage, fast charging, microgrids and renewable energy generation, applied to rail transportation systems across North America.
The company's product line includes battery locomotives designed to substitute for conventional diesel engines in freight service, and charging infrastructure that enables autonomous fast charging while trains continue to run at normal speeds. Its self-sustaining microgrid networks, powered by renewable generation, supply rail operations as well as grid-independent energy to factories, mines and rail yards along corridors. Voltify also offers complete energy systems as a service to railroads, a model that removes customer capital investment while delivering operational savings; the company states its renewable energy solutions cost roughly one-third of current diesel expenses.
The market Voltify addresses is substantial: North American freight rail spends approximately $11 billion a year on diesel fuel. The company reports contingent orders of more than $50 million from major global rail companies and has raised more than $30 million in total capital. Further details on founding date and team size are not publicly specified.
