The String Technologies Testing Centre in Sharjah has been visited by representatives from different business sectors:
— Greg Peters, CEO of Cgear, Australia, the manufacturer of civil and military products.
— Dale Jackson, Deputy Executive Director at Initi8 Consulting company, UAE.
— Michael Adebayo, Master of Laws (LLM) at Dillex Solicitors Law Firm, UK.
— Arnaud Fabre, Founder and CEO of farming company Agriculture Box, UAE.
The tour of the Centre began at the passenger station, where the delegates were presented with the certified tropical Unicar. This model is designed for urban and intercity trips in regions with arid climate and temperatures up to + 55 °C.
To personally verify the safety of the technology, the guests rode the Unicar up to the service station. During the trip, the delegates noticed that the model does not produce harmful emissions, which means it does not pollute the environment.
At the service station, the businessmen visited the dispatch room. The specially developed software and hardware complex for collecting data on the tracks and transport control is presented here.
Then, the guests were shown the flagship of the project — the high-speed model of the string transport. This vehicle is equipped with a multimedia system, has seats for 6 people, and can travel at speeds up to 500 km/h on intercity and international routes.
But the guests were especially interested in the office of the company that is engaged in the development of the project in the Middle East. Unlike many buildings in the UAE, this building is made entirely of wood. It was here that the delegates examined the mock-up of the linear city and attended the presentation of the technology.
At the presentation, the parties discussed the possibilities of using passenger and cargo string transport between islands and the mainland coast, as well as between cities and airports. It should be noted that today the project has all the necessary resources to implement the technology anywhere in the world.
In conclusion, we share one of the reviews that the delegates left in the Guestbook:
«Thanks for the wonderful demonstration. This is really the transport and transportation of the future. I am very happy to try to help this project move forward both in the UAE and in my home country of Australia».
