Swedish industrialist Axel Wenner-Gren backs a new monorail concept built in Cologne. The railcar, described as radically different and elevated with electronic control, could reach speeds up to 200 mph if tests in June or July prove successful.

He has diverse business holdings, including milk pasteurization plants, and Mexico City investments.
