The running gear of a train plays an important role in fast, reliable, safe, and comfortable rail transport. A novel, future-oriented idea dispenses with continuous wheel axles, each wheel is driven independently and controlled intelligently.The advantages of this approach are that trains could be more efficient and quieter in the future, with less wear and tear on wheels and rails.

High speed freight trains meet the demand for high speed freight transport over medium and long distances
ranging from 600 km to 1,500 km. This type of train has significant advantages such as transport on time, high frequency of goods handling, low transport costs and operational capability regardless of the weather.

Akulon Fuel Lock tank liners enhance vehicle safety and fuel efficiency through a barrier that reduces permeation leakage of hydrogen from the pressure vessel.DSM Engineering Materials is staying abreast of the trend of designing sustainable and large-sized pressure vessels for trucks, buses, and mobile hydrogen transport.

NASA - propel spacecraft by producing a "pellet-beam" of microscopic particles travelling at very high speed (over 74 miles per second) using laser blasts. The concept could dramatically shorten the time it takes to explore deep space. Where Voyager 1 took 35 years to reach interstellar space (the heliopause, roughly 123AU from the Sun), a one-ton spacecraft could reach 100AU in just three years. It could travel 500AU in 15 years.
