The WindRunner, developed by the American startup Radia, is designed as the ultimate solution for transporting the gigantic components of wind turbines. These blades can reach up to 100 meters in length, creating immense logistical challenges. Conventional ground transport requires special permits, limited routing, and avoiding overpasses or bridges.
