<\/p>\nThe two leading hyperloop pioneers will work closely on a shared development roadmap to ensure their technologies are fully compatible across borders \u2013 overcoming an issue that plagues traditional transport, such as rail.<\/p>\n
This synergistic approach to development is hoped to accelerate the deployment of the technology significantly, with both companies targeting 2030 for an operational pilot route.<\/p>\n
David Pistoni, CEO of Zeleros, commented: \u201cTogether, we are able to multiply our impact to speed up the process of hyperloop commercialisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe consider this as a first step of collaboration where others can add to further consolidate the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hyperloop is an ultra-high-speed, low-emission, fully autonomous mode of land transportation that promises to not only decarbonise passenger and cargo travel but also slash journey times significantly across Europe.<\/p>\n
Capable of speeds of over 800km\/h, in the hyperloop, vehicles are guided through a low-pressure system of tubes and are propelled, suspended, and guided with magnets.<\/p>\n
This process drastically reduces rolling and aerodynamic friction, which reduces energy requirements. For example, hyperloop is ten times more energy efficient than road transport and aviation and uses 50% less energy than traditional rail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The combined effects of this almost sci-fi-inspired transportation are astounding; it is estimated that trips across Europe that would once take up to six hours will be a mere fraction of that.<\/p>\n
For example, hyperloop journeys from Munich to Milan or from Berlin to Warsaw would take just over an hour.<\/p>\n
Now, the new MoU signed between Hardt and Zeleros looks to accelerate the technology considerably to make journeys between Europe\u2019s major cities faster, cleaner, and more efficient than ever.<\/p>\n
Hardt and Zeleros will work together on the demonstration, de-risking, and implementation of the technology, with the development of an interoperable system to allow seamless transport across borders as the main priority.<\/p>\n
Such technologies are currently under development in the Netherlands and Spain, with pilot projects at the European Hyperloop Center, Groningen<\/a>, and the HyperTrack, Valencia<\/a>.<\/p>\n By 2030, the companies are targeting an operational pilot route and are preparing for large-scale deployment whilst working to establish an open, accessible, and competitive hyperloop ecosystem throughout Europe.<\/p>\n Mars Geuze, co-founder and Chief Hyperloop Officer of Hardt Hyperloop, said: \u201cThe signing of this MoU with Zeleros is a great sign of collaboration and convergence within the hyperloop developments.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of competing, we are collaborating to make the hyperloop a reality in Europe and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n Innovation News Network will be publishing our experience of an exclusive visit to Hardt Hyperloop to provide a more in-depth look at the groundbreaking transport modality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hardt and Zeleros have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expedite the technical and commercial development of hyperloop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":38418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24425],"tags":[24134,652],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
