Hyperloop Achieves Milestone with Successful Capsule Test in Netherlands
Innovative transit system levitates and propels test vehicle, paving the way for future high-speed travel.
- A test vehicle levitated and moved through a 420-meter tube at the European Hyperloop Center.
- The test involved achieving levitation, propulsion, and guidance simultaneously.
- Developers aim for future speeds up to 700 kph, vastly outpacing current short-haul travel options.
- Significant investment in infrastructure is required for full deployment by 2030.
- Skeptics question the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the hyperloop system.
