Russian Railways Open Joint-Stock Company is interested in the possibility of using the Hyperloop ultra-high-speed vacuum train for cargo transportation. Interest in this technology was reported by representatives of a Russian company.
“As a large global company, we are certainly interested in innovative innovative technologies. Our experts created a working group together with Hyperloop One in order to study all aspects and, first of all, to consider the possibility of using Hyperloop in cargo transportation. However, it’s too early to draw any conclusions, ”TASS reports citing representatives of Russian Railways.
It should be noted that on May 17, an interview with the head of the board of directors of the Summa group Ziyavudin Magomedov was published on the RZD-Partner website in which he commented on the possibility of working with Hyperloop technology in Russia. In an interview, Magomedov noted that "Hyperloop as a new mode of transport is very promising and relevant, and it is quite possible to build such a mode of transport in Russia."
Recall that Hyperloop is a supersonic capsule train moving in special tubes with vacuum. The lack of friction between the train and the platform on which it moves, potentially allows you to reach speeds of up to 1220 kilometers per hour. But this is only a dream so far. The implementation of the project in the United States has just begun. Last week, the first tests of the test capsule on a purpose-built track took place. As part of the test drive, the device reached a speed of 160 kilometers per hour.
