KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 -- Virgin Hyperloop One (VHO), the world’s leading hyperloop company has announced its groundbreaking hyperloop system is poised to be the world’s most energy-efficient mode of mass transportation.
In conjunction with Climate Week NYC, Los Angeles-based VHO made its announcement from the Rockefeller Plaza® at Rockefeller Center® in New York City, showcasing its XP-1 test vehicle from the Nevada test track.
VHO is also joining the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s CE100 network which brings together businesses, innovators, cities, governments and universities to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
Hyperloop will be able to transport people and goods at nearly 700 miles per hour in depressurised environments via magnetic levitation. It will be able to carry more people than a subway, at airline speeds and with zero direct emissions.
By combining an ultra-efficient electric motor, magnetic levitation and a low-drag environment, the VHO system will be five to 10 times more energy-efficient than an airplane and faster than high-speed rail using less energy.
VHO is currently working with the Indian Government of Maharashtra on a route between Pune and Mumbai. The regional city pair sees more than 75 million commuting trips annually, a number which is expected to skyrocket to 130 million by 2026.
In the United States, 10 states are now exploring the hyperloop, including Missouri, Texas, Colorado, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington, Indiana and Oregon.
