2. Houston, we have
a problem!!!!!
Just like Los Angeles, Shanghai, Singapore, Dubai, New
York and most other global container ports.
3. A problem
compounded by…
• Massive port congestion
• Increased demand for goods
• Huge new container ships
• Current port designs/operation
• Crowded waterfront real estate
• Urban traffic competition
• Lack of access to inland space
4. And it’s getting worse…
Container Ports have become the primary
bottlenecks of the global supply chain
5. The
Bottom
Line
$7 Trillion of seaborne container cargo needs a
better way to rapidly get in and out of ports
from the land side…
New platforms must include both fast, efficient,
and environmentally responsible container
transportation and container handling systems
The Money is there - $163 Billion of U.S. port
infrastructure spending already planned
through 2025
But the Technology isn’t… or so we thought
“simply sawing harder without sharpening the saw”
6. The Solution
At WickedHyper™ we don’t just
sharpen the saw, we reinvent it…
And the entire Container Terminal
by moving the container yard inland
Extremely Efficient
Super Fast
Minimized Footprint
Existing Rail
Safe/Reliable
Environmentally Friendly
8. Ship Automated
Guidance Vehicle
• WickedHyper™ keeps pace with the
fastest Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes
servicing the largest container ships
(20,000+ TEUs).
• Containers load directly from STS
cranes onto smart robotic Automated
Guidance Vehicles (AGVs)
• Each WickedHyper™ System includes
a dedicated fleet of AGVs and
programmed pathways within a 20-
acre area
9. Automated Guidance
Vehicle HyperRail ™
• Proprietary WickedHyper™ LOAD10X
mega-gantry transfers containers
between AGVs and innovative
HyperRail™ trainsets
• WickedHyper™ LOAD 10X handles 20
forty-foot containers simultaneously,
and transloads 40 containers in four
minutes
10. HyperRail ™
Inland Container Yard
• Seamlessly transport 300 containers
per hour in each direction between
port and inland container yard
• No containers touch port ground
• No diesel truck drayage at the port -
replaced with HyperRail™
• Decreased urban traffic congestion,
road wear & tear, pollution
• HyperRail™ available in electric and
hybrid-electric models, and optimized
on dual-track rail
11. The WickedHyper™
Transformation
• Relocate on-dock Container Yard
to a more streamlined Inland site
• Eliminate on-dock Intermodal
Yard; co-locate at Inland Yard
• Free up Waterfront Real Estate
• No container stacks, chassis, etc.
• No massive intermodal yard
• Electric or Hybrid HyperRail™
performs Drayage to/from Port
• Truck drayage conducted to/from less
congested, spacious Inland Container Yard

Inland Intermodal Yard
On-Dock Intermodal Yard
12. Competitive Advantages
Conventional Port Design WickedHyper™ Design
Container Yard On Dock Inland
Truck Drayage 70-75% On Dock 100% from Inland Yard
Rail Yard Maybe On Dock Near Inland Yard
Chassis Yard On Dock Inland
Carbon Emissions Significant Diesel Low-None
Waterfront Footprint 100 acres per berth 25 acres/berth
Site Selection Limited Greater Choice
Truck Traffic Significant None
Demurrage High Low
Accidents Some Almost None
Productivity Low-Mid TEU/acre Very High TEU/acre
Workforce Lower Technology Higher Technology
13. Competitive Advantages
• Fast to implement since all capital equipment is existing/achievable technology
that we customize and/or reconfigure
• Premium Version: Fully-electric System is more efficient, sustainable and
commercially viable than traditional diesel-powered truck and train operations
• Hybrid Version: Hydrogen-electric or diesel-electric HyperRail™ operates on
existing rail, employs double-stacking of containers; remainder of System is
electric
• WickedHyper™ solution is adaptable to almost all container port scenarios –
existing or greenfield
• WickedHyper™ is expandable. Ports are not locked into a long-term solution
that lacks the ability to increase throughput as business and demand grows.
14. Launch Status
• $4+ Billion Public-Private Project for new container terminal
• Visioning Workshop completed - 2020
• MOU imminent: Feasibility Study planned, with projected 2021/22
completion
• Anticipated limited WickedHyper™ operation – late 2025
• Anticipated full WickedHyper™ operation – late 2026
• Pilot Demonstration
• Late 2023/early 2024
• Funded by Seed Round capital raise
• Intellectual Property Protections filed for entire WickedHyper™ system
• International patent pending
• US patent pending
• Advanced discussions with potential HyperRail™ power car providers
• Electric with catenary wires
• Diesel-electric
• Hydrogen-electric
15. Smart.
