The river port of Woodland, in the U.S. state of Washington, has signed an agreement with Glid Technologies, a company Genesis Electronics Group, which is developing an autonomous vehicle (Glider) for combined transport road-rail. The project, which is currently under development, includes the construction of a prototype and then the production of the vehicles in the southwest of Washington State. The agreement stipulates that the port of Woodland, which owns a train terminal at the Schurman Way Industrial Park, provide the area for the development of the project and carrying out the tests.

Autonomous road to rail mobility (ARRM) vehicles Gliders will be the size of current rail cars and, therefore, they will not require specific railway infrastructure. ARRMs will be able to operate both by road and rail, thanks to sensors and cameras and the use of advanced technologies, and will be electrically and/or hydrogen-powered.
