CNN —In Switzerland, an ambitious proposal could see the construction of an expansive underground network through which self-driving pods would transport freight across the country. The project, called Cargo Sous Terrain (“Underground Cargo” in English), is intended to reduce the reliance on trucks for moving cargo. “In the US, currently we are facing a big shortage of truck drivers and underground freight transport will resolve this issue as well.”In recent years, there have been other proposals for underground freight transport networks around the world. Cargo Sous TerrainA key challenge is working out how to transport freight above ground from the tunnels to stores in cities – without adding to road traffic. CST is “at the forefront” of underground freight transport thanks to its step-by-step approach, he says.
