We design and build highly configurable, self-propelled, semi-autonomous, heavy haul freight rail cars.
RailHaul vehicles offer reliable and safe operations with lower emissions, capital and operating costs.
No on-board operator,
traditional remote control or
autonomous enabled operation
Power and fuel agnostic electric drive;
Independent power, local grid or hybrid
Renewables, CNG, Propane,
diesel and hydrogen (development)
RHT - Mining
RHT - Containers
RHT- Specialty

5- 95% lower GHG's
(compared to heavy haul mine trucks)
Rail vehicles are designed to last longer and operate more efficiently.
RaulHaul vehicles are configurable to the duty cycle. Change power supply, fuel types and load capacity.

Our team has a proven history of looking at rail differently
Self-powered, semi-autonomous rail is the future
Efficient decarbonization is
the imperative
"Rail is by far the most efficient means to move materials"
"We're not re-inventing the wheel...
just rail in general"
" Our innovative rail cars deliver real value to clients and stakeholders "
"The use cases show clear and dramatic savings"
"We've combined new technologies to an already reliable and efficient one"
RailHaul works hard to create and maintain an ecosystem of enabling partners. The following are examples of the companies that contribute to our "rolling innovation platform".
An agile, boutique technology development and support company
An innovative rail engineering design company with deep rail experience
A global leader in mine equipment and vehicle remote operation & automation
A trusted company building railroads across North America since 1865
