MAGWAY LIMITED

Company description

Magway is a sustainable zero-emissions solution for transporting goods through pipelines. It addresses the increased volume of parcel deliveries, from the rapid growth in e-commerce amplified in a post-covid world and the resulting impact of heavy and light goods vehicles on the environment and an inadequate road infrastructure. Combining a novel application of tried and tested technology and our own patented intellectual property, (Magway is at the forefront of linear motor design) Magway has the potential to address these challenges and revolutionise e-commerce logistics. Other applications include movement of goods into and around airports and large manufacturing sites. Our solution utilises small-diameter (0.9m) tubes similar to those currently used by major utility companies with linear motors transporting the goods internally. This diameter pipe can accommodate all of the on-line grocery delivery market and over 90% of e-commerce parcel deliveries. As such Magway is low impact, has relatively low capital investment and substantially lower operating costs than the current modes of transport being used. A tested solution that is secure, not vulnerable to payload theft, is not limited by weather, driver error or shortage, and will deliver considerable savings to retailers and subsequently their customers; Magway delivers benefits to air quality, congestion, road maintenance costs, and residential and commercial development. Because the system is lightweight and electrically powered, it is energy efficient, produces zero emissions and can exploit renewable energy resources, thus reducing carbon emissions. These high-capacity and small-footprint links will reduce congestion, taking vehicles off the roads, and provide the additional capacity to accommodate the expected growth in online retailing and e-commerce, as well as in freight/logistics more generally. Magway presents an end-to-end clean delivery solution and is a “game-changer” for e-commerce logistics.
