Scott Dilloff's Bio:

Scott Dilloff's Experience:

• SVP Business Development at Freight Shuttle International

  2008 - January 2014

  Developed at the Texas Transportation Institute (an affiliate of Texas A&M University), the Freight Shuttle is designed to move truck trailers or containers on a privately-financed, electric-powered guideway (similar to a monorail) built in existing rights-of-way (such as a highway median). It is a cleaner, more efficient alternative to trucks in highly congested corridors. The Freight Shuttle will replace thousands of truck trips per day in key, high-volume segments of the transportation network such as from ports to distribution centers, across international borders, or between major markets. The concept presents a viable solution to a severely underfunded and dilapidated national transportation network. FSI has the exclusive right to sub-license the Freight Shuttle technology. The company has completed several rounds of financing, commenced prototype development, and originated multiple project opportunities. Responsible for cultivating new projects, strategic partnerships, and equity investments.
