Competition
Roadless Trucking”
Modes
verse
Dynalifters
Trucks-
Limited to rough road surfaces
Trains-
Limited to rail systems
Aircraft-
Limited in volume, and to major runways
Ships-
Limited to the final port of entry
No mode of transportation exists which can provide
Dynalifter-like capabilities.
Actual Dynalifter competition will be the cost of building
new highways and railways in developing nations
