All of F26About Ailit
Ailit is building the electric energy system for North American freight rail. Our first product, Superwagon, is a battery wagon designed to power existing diesel-electric locomotives, allowing railroads to electrify the fleets they already own. Superwagon carries swappable battery packs that supply electricity to the locomotive’s existing electric motors. Discharged packs are exchanged for charged ones along the route and recharged off-board, providing operators with limitless range. We deliver energy as a service, owning and operating the batteries and swapping sites. Railroads pay for energy with no upfront equipment purchase, with pricing set at 20% below today’s diesel cost. Founded in Stockholm by Christian Lind and Emil Tagesson, our team is now based in San Francisco. We’re building our first full-scale prototype and targeting first deployment in summer 2027.
