Nevomo, a Poland- based transportation tech, has raised over €1.22 million through its equity crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs. The funding round, which originally sought to raise €1 million, has already attracted 870 Seedrs investors.
As previously reported, Nevomo stated it has developed technology for a magrail system, which it describes as a passive magnetic levitation train operating on existing railway tracks at speeds up to 550 kph (341 mph). The hybrid solution allows for the functionality of both the magrail system and conventional trains on the same tracks.
“At Nevomo, we are creating transport of tomorrow which will cut down the time and costs of travel while reducing the carbon footprint produced by the transport sector. The railway industry requires a major upgrade to regain its competitive edge and our magrail technology can be the right solution.”
Nevomo further revealed it is also aiming to implement these components earlier as part of a unique magrail system.
“It allows for the use of magnetic levitation within the existing railway infrastructure while keeping the functionality of conventional rolling stock. We estimate that vehicles will be able to move at speeds of up to 550 kph (342 mph).”
Nevomo then noted that it expects to achieve a flexible and diversified business model with several potential revenue sources in high-value elements of the value chain:
- Licensing royalty fees from OEMs on protected IP
- SaaS fees from operators & infrastructure managers for monitoring services
- Income from joint-development agreements with hyperloop promoters
- Systems’ sales to railway OEMs & infrastructure managers
Funds from the Seedrs campaign will be used to continue the growth and development of the Nevomo products. The campaign is set to close mid-June.
