About Us
Hyperloop Belarus is dedicated to the idea of hyperloop and related high-speed rail technologies, and their potential application in the region of Central-Eastern Europe (Intermarium).
Our aim is to promote the hyperloop technology, influence opinions of key stakeholders in the region, develop further the idea of tube transport, educate the general public about its advantages, and help identify the best high-speed solution for the region as a whole.
The Region of Three Seas – Baltic, Black and Adriatic – is crucial to any trans-European infrastructure, and its strategic choices will have continent-wide ramifications.

SpaceX/Tesla’s Hyperloop pod will attempt to reach 1/2 speed of sound
Elon Musk recently announced that a speed test for the upgraded SpaceX Hyperloop pod would be conducted soon. This time around, Musk said that the goal would be to accelerate to half the speed of sound and stop within ~1.2 km.
China takes on Hyperloop with 1000 km/h ‘super maglev’ train
Researchers at China’s Southwest Jiaotong University recently built a prototype for a “super maglev,” a track that carries a train at incredibly high speed using magnetic levitation (maglev). What makes it so super? According to the researchers it’ll be capable of supporting speeds up to 1000 km/h (600 MPH).
Elon Musk’s Hyperloop appearing in Ukraine
Often called a real Tony Stark of the 21-st century, Elon Musk started his way with a popular PayPal service and nowadays regularly astonishes people with popularizing electrocars and even launching them into space. One of his latest highly-advanced transportation projects, Hyperloop, may appear in Ukraine.
First interstate Hyperloop could connect Chicago and Cleveland
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) and the rival company Hyperloop One announced they have signed agreements with regional planning authorities in Ohio and Illinois to fund a feasibility study for what could be the first US interstate Hyperloop route.
China’s looking to one-up Elon Musk’s hyperloop
The China Aerospace Science and Industrial Corporation (CASIC), a well-heeled newcomer to the mass transit industry, is betting big on its supersonic T-Flight ‘flying train’. If created as proposed, T-Flight will be faster, with more extensive routes.
Hyper Poland is one of semifinalists in the Global Challenge by Hyperloop One
The Hyperloop Poland team adapted its route from a 2012 feasibility study for an $8 billion high-speed rail project that was suspended by the federal government in 2014. That bullet train’s speed-to-cost ratio was deemed “dissatisfying,” but Hyperloop offers speeds 2-3 times faster than high-speed rail and can be built for two-thirds of the cost while fitting into narrower rights of way that trains cannot.
Young Romanian among the winners of Elon Musk’s Hyperloop competition
Romanian engineering student Denis Tudor, 23, is among the winners of Hyperloop competition, which aims to find a transportation alternative for the future. Billionaire Elon Musk, CEO and founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla Motors, initiated the competition.
Slovakia’s Hyperloop moves a step closer to not being a joke
On Wednesday, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies signed an “exploratory agreement” with the Czech city of Brno, which wants to examine the feasibility of a hyperloop line to Bratislava, Slovakia, where HTT also is working with the government. Being fired through a tube will cut the 80-mile trip, which takes 90 minutes by rail, to 10 minutes.
Hyperloop pens deal that could connect Slovakia, Austria and Hungary
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies announced Thursday that it has signed an agreement with the government of the Slovak Republic to “explore” building a hyperloop system that connects Bratislava with Vienna, Austria and Budapest, Hungary.
