Ailit is building the electric energy system for North American freight rail. Our first product, Superwagon, is a battery wagon designed to power existing diesel-electric locomotives, allowing railroads to electrify the fleets they already own.
Superwagon carries swappable battery packs that supply electricity to the locomotive’s existing electric motors. Discharged packs are exchanged for charged ones along the route and recharged off-board, providing operators with limitless range.
We deliver energy as a service, owning and operating the batteries and swapping sites. Railroads pay for energy with no upfront equipment purchase, with pricing set at 20% below today’s diesel cost.
Founded in Stockholm by Christian Lind and Emil Tagesson, our team is now based in San Francisco. We’re building our first full-scale prototype and targeting first deployment in summer 2027.
Co-founder & CEO of Ailit, electrifying North American freight rail. Studied theoretical physics at KTH, where my thesis built a diffusion-based deep learning model of the US power grid that outperformed state-of-the-art models. Previously ML engineer at Modulai. Swedish, now in San Francisco. Big fan of hardware startups and the push to reindustrialize.
Co-Founder & CTO of Ailit Rail, replacing diesel in rail with swappable battery power. At Candela, I took the world's first battery-electric hydrofoil passenger ferry from prototype through certification, into revenue service, and on to series production. Previously on the battery team at Koenigsegg. Led powertrain & electronics at KTH Formula Student, building fully in-house electric race cars. MSc Embedded Systems at KTH.
