What Construct Invest does

Construct Invest is a privately held company developing the "Autonomous EV People Mover," an airport-focused automated ground transportation system that connects terminals, car rental facilities, and other on-airport destinations. The system is designed to carry up to 25,000 passengers per hour per direction and is covered by U.S. Patent No. 12,600,387 B2, with international applications pending.

The technical architecture replaces traditional rail-based airport transit with autonomous battery-electric vehicles operating on a four-beam precast elevated running way (100-foot spans), served by compact two-level stations with a single bidirectional passenger platform and supported by a co-locatable or remote maintenance and storage facility. The elimination of guide rails and third-rail power, combined with short vehicle turning radius, off-peak charging, and precast construction, is claimed to deliver an 80% cost reduction versus conventional airport people movers and expand the set of airports for which a transit connector is economically viable.

Commercially, Construct Invest pursues a direct enterprise sales motion targeting airport operators globally, supported by a complimentary concept-design lead generation tool and presence at industry events such as Passenger Terminal EXPO 2027 in Amsterdam. The revenue model combines hardware sales (vehicles, stations, running ways, maintenance facility) with a managed-services offering covering design, build, finance, operation, and maintenance delivered with unnamed partner entities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, no revenue figures are available, and no customers, funding rounds, or management team have been identified in the source material, indicating the company is at an early commercialization stage.

Broad incumbents

• Alstom (formerly Bombardier Transportation): Alstom acquired Bombardier Transportation and supplies the Innovia family of automated people movers (APMs) used at major airports worldwide. It is the closest incumbent competitor to Construct Invest's airport people mover system, offering proven automated transit solutions to the same airport operator customer base.
• Hitachi Rail: Hitachi Rail supplies automated metros and people mover solutions globally, including airport driverless systems. It is comparable as an established supplier offering full-lifecycle services for automated airport and urban transit.
• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Crystal Mover): Mitsubishi supplies the Crystal Mover rubber-tired automated people mover used in airports globally. It competes directly with Construct Invest for APM contracts targeting airport terminals and connects using automated, guideway-based transit.
• Siemens Mobility: Siemens Mobility delivers automated and electrified rail and people mover solutions to airport and urban transit customers. Its airport portfolio and lifecycle services overlap directly with Construct Invest's design/build/operate/maintain offering.

Emerging players

• Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group: Doppelmayr builds cable-propelled and automated people mover systems (e.g., the Cable Liner Shuttle) used at airports and urban settings. Its automated, infrastructure-light transit philosophy overlaps with Construct Invest's compact, low-civil-works approach.
• EasyMile: EasyMile provides autonomous electric shuttles for airport, campus, and urban deployments, targeting similar on-demand, low-speed autonomous mobility use cases as Construct Invest's people mover. It is a relevant emerging competitor on the autonomy/vehicle layer rather than full APM systems.
• Aeromovel: Aeromovel manufactures pneumatic-propelled people movers that have been deployed at airports including connections between terminals. It is a niche competitor pursuing infrastructure-light airport transit solutions analogous to Construct Invest's compact, autonomous system.
• BYD SkyRail: BYD markets the SkyRail monorail and related elevated autonomous transit systems for urban and airport-adjacent applications. It is an emerging competitor pursuing similar compact, rail-based or beam-based autonomous transit solutions with comparable cost-reduction narratives.
