Sergey Glazyev and Anatoli Unitsky discussed the future of transport technologies

A working meeting took place at the EcoTechnoPark demonstration and test Center, located in Maryina Gorka, Belarus, between Sergey Glazyev, the State Secretary of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, and Anatoli Unitsky, the founder of string transport

During the visit, innovative transport solutions were presented, covering urban, cargo, and high-speed transportation, as well as developments in related sectors, including biotechnology.

At the heart of the discussion was the string transport system—an original engineering concept developed by Anatoli Unitsky. The technology is based on the use of pre-tensioned string rails, along which unmanned electric vehicles (called uPods) move on steel wheels. These systems enable the creation of aboveground transport tracks that minimize environmental impact while ensuring high throughput, safety, and energy efficiency. uST transport solutions can be adapted for various needs—from urban routes to intercity and cargo logistics, including operations in remote regions.

The discussion also covered prospects for creating cross-border transport corridors, strengthening the technological sovereignty of both countries, implementing intelligent and environmentally friendly solutions in the transport infrastructure, and building a sustainable technological partnership within the Eurasian region. Particular attention was paid to the potential of public-private partnerships, which are currently among the most important tools for promoting advanced technologies.

A separate topic of the meeting was the concept of a uST transport and infrastructure complex along the Moscow–Minsk route. This project envisions the development of a comfortable, safe, and environmentally clean transportation link between the capitals of Russia and Belarus, based on patented engineering solutions including string rail overpasses and an automated control system.

The idea of this route was first proposed by Anatoli Unitsky in 1997 as part of the trans-European transport corridor Paris–Berlin–Warsaw–Minsk–Moscow, and it received support at the intergovernmental level. Today, it re-emerges on the agenda as one of the potential elements of Russia–Belarus cooperation within the context of a shared technological future.
