INNOVATION IS PART OF OUR DNA

Innovation defines and guides us, and it is the essence of this award, which is now celebrating its 25th anniversary but looks more than ever towards the future. 

The Talgo Award for Technological Innovation was born in 1999 with the aim of promoting creativity and innovation in railway matters. For more than two decades, in each edition, the Award selected those projects that allowed continued innovation in railway technology. Starting in 2019, a second category of innovation is included: MobilityThis was in recognition of the significant challenges and issues posed by people’s mobility in the 21st centuryThe Award seeks two winning projects every year: one in the Railway Technology category and another in Mobility. Both guided by innovation and with the aim of collectively improving the world we live in. Do you have an idea? Perhaps this Award is the ideal platform to develop it. Will you share it with us?

This is the winning project of the 2023 edition
UMILES Next

UMILES Next has devised a line of accessible and sustainable aerial mobility using electric, sustainable and silent air taxis for short to medium distances. Through the FlyFree technology, the aircraft will have autonomous driving capabilities. However, since it is still in its preliminary stages, an on-site or remote pilot is added to operate them until the regulations approve their autonomous use. 

Another technology developed by UFILES Next is its concept of a ground vehicle with integrated local automated driving and remote driving, allowing drivers to teleoperate vehicles from a control center. It also enables two or more vehicles to travel together on the road in a coordinated manner. The leading vehicle is controlled by a driver while the others automatically follow. 

Both developments aim to address the issue of significant city congestion by enhancing proximity transport and creating an ecosystem that seeks to reshape urban mobility, both for individuals and last-mile logistics.
