Construction will start on the test line for a low-vacuum maglev high-speed train with a speed of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour in Datong, North China's Shanxi Province, as preparation work is done, the local government said.
The United States Senate passed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act which includes provisions that will support further development and deployment of hyperloop.
The world's first high-temperature superconducting high-speed maglev engineering prototype launched at Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu. The vehicle is expected to bring disruptive changes to rail transit industry with the application of low vacuum tube (tunnel) technology.
The European Commission has released the European Union Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and hyperloop is explicitly identified as a game-changing mobility technology.
Just 10 days after launching a fundraising campaign on investment platform Seedrs, Hyper Poland has achieved its €451,000 investment target. This funding will be dedicated to the continued testing and development of the next generation of high-speed railways.
"Let it happen somewhere else. Let it become successful for at least a 10 km distance somewhere abroad". Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said on Friday that the state government will consider pursuing Hyperloop only after it is shown to be practicable in other countries.
Tunneling and bridging bring additional costs to a project that, in Ohio, will mostly consist of standard, flat rails built across the region. When dealing with hyperloop speeds, that path also has to be as straight as can be, which could prevent the rail from winding through Appalachian terrain to reach its destination.
TransPod wants to modernize mass transportation in Alberta by developing a high-speed link between Calgary and Edmonton, but it appears there is less appetite for it among the new provincial government. Discussions with the United Conservative Party have been stopped dead in the tracks.
China aims to again take the lead in the new global race to make bullet trains travel even faster by harnessing the power of magnetic levitation.
Chinese company MAD Architects has collaborated with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT) on the development of an elevated, rapid transport system. MAD’s design demonstrates how the artificial can merge with nature through…
