Glīd builds autonomous road-rail vehicles and orchestration software that turn existing rail infrastructure — shortline mileage, dormant sidings, spurs, and industrial aprons — into first- and last-mile freight capability without new terminal construction. It serves shippers, rail operators, ports, and government/defense customers seeking to move containers between road and rail.
