The world's first infinity train uses gravity to charge an electric battery.

According to the Daily Mail (UK), scientists at Fortescue Future Industries (Australia) have announced a project to build the world's most efficient battery-powered train. With a budget of $50 million, their mission was to create the first infinity train powered by gravity. It is expected that this type of ship will be put into operation by the end of this decade.

This promising project was announced after Fortescue acquired UK-based battery maker Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) in 2010. The two companies will work together to accelerate the energy transition. green, which eliminates the need for diesel engines and reduces emissions from ship operations.

Dr Andrew Forrest, Founder and President of Fortescue, said the infinity train will help make Fortescue a major player in the growing global green industrial transport equipment market.

'This spurs business leaders and politicians across the globe to realize that fossil fuels are just one of many energy sources. Currently, there are many other energy sources that are developing that are more efficient, low-cost and more environmentally friendly,' he said.

Not only will the infinity train help accelerate Fortescue's race to reach its net zero emissions goal by 2030, but it will also help reduce operating costs and create efficient maintenance opportunities, he said.
