There is a requirement for efficient and economic transportation that improves connectivity between cities while also reducing emissions.

A new form of transportation suitable for large volumes of passengers or freight, which connects cities efficiently and reliably. It works by means of a linear electric engine that extends across the entire track. The pods are also equipped with a magnetic levitation system that, together with the electric engine, allows them to ‘surf’ a magnetic wave.

• Up to 90% reduction in energy use compared to air travel.
• Scalable in speed and distance.
• No transfers: a network of cross-border cities, all connected in one network.
• CO2 reductions.

Transport accounts for 1/3 of global GHGs. For intercity transport, high-speed rail can’t travel at the expected speed and aviation can’t reach the sustainability and energy efficiency targets to reach net-zero in a reasonable timeframe. Hyperloop offers a sustainable solution to this need.

The Zeleros hyperloop transport system can move passengers and cargo at speeds up to 1000 km/h with 0 direct emissions, connecting global cities and logistic hubs in a matter of minutes. The system drastically reduces energy consumption and journey times, with increased capacity and service availability. A European Hyperloop Transport Network could minimise short-haul flights, saving millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions per year with a billionaire revenue opportunity. 

• Includes traction technologies in the vehicle, radically reducing infrastructure costs per kilometre (which represent 95% of total project costs).
• Provides a straight certification journey to deliver hyperloop to society in a scalable and cost-effective approach by 2030.
• The operation at aviation pressure levels with the onboard e-propulsion system is crucial to accelerate path to market, allowing the use of already proven safety systems and certification schemes.
