NTS Energie- und Transportsysteme GmbH was founded in 2006 in Berlin, Germany by Uwe Ahrens.The company is developing X-Wind technology (spoken: Cross-Wind). This technology combines two technologies - automatically steered kites and generators on a rail system - to produce electricity.[1] A closed loop rail with cable-connected cars work in concert to pull the loop cable. Each railed car is pulled by a four-tethered kited wing; each wing is controlled by an autopilot or kite-steering unit.[2]

In July 2012, NTS GmbH had tested 400 meters linear test track in Freidland, Germany.[3] Closed loop prototype is under construction at Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.[4]
