Aerom Joins 31st SAE BRASIL Congress: Eduardo Chrysostomo Speaks on Passenger Rail Solutions

This morning, October 16, 2024, the 31st International Congress and Exhibition of Mobility Technology SAE BRASIL gathered industry leaders, government officials, and innovators to discuss the future of sustainable mobility. Held at the Bienal Pavilion in Ibirapuera Park, the event explored the skills and knowledge required to transform Brazil’s transportation landscape.

Eduardo Chrysostomo, COO of Aerom, participated in the Rail Panel under the theme “Safe, Smart, and Sustainable Passenger Transport: The Solution on Rails.” Moderated by Vicente Abate, President of ABIFER, the discussion also featured Frederico Bussinger (IDELT), Daniel Souza (Marcopolo Rail), and representatives from ANPTrilhos.

Shaping the Future of Passenger Rail

The panel addressed key challenges and opportunities for expanding passenger rail services in Brazil. While urban areas rely on trains for metropolitan transit, long-distance rail remains rare, despite emerging projects. Panelists explored critical aspects, including:

• Multimodal integration to connect rail with other transport networks;
• Reducing travel times to improve convenience and efficiency;
• Enhancing safety in rail systems;
• Minimizing environmental impacts, aligning with sustainability goals.

Aeromovel’s Role in Sustainable Mobility

During the discussion, Chrysostomo highlighted how the Aeromovel technology offers efficient, low-impact solutions for sustainable transport. Though the Aeromovel system uses exclusive propulsion technology, it shares key features with traditional rail systems, such as steel tracks and wheels, eliminating rubber tires and their environmental liabilities. With its ability to navigate curves and steep inclines, Aeromovel can also serve as a feeder for high-capacity rail networks.

Aerom’s experience in implementing safe and intelligent systems positions the company as a viable alternative in the push for a more connected and efficient future.

The panel provided valuable insights into collaborative strategies and technologies that can shape the future of mobility in Brazil, emphasizing rail transport as a vital component for urban and regional sustainability.
