Hyperloop Transportation System

Swiss transportation technology company Swisspod and TuTr Hyperloop will collaborate to establish a robust framework for cooperation in the development and deployment of hyperloop technology within India. TuTr Hyperloop is a deep tech incubated startup at IIT Madras. It designs and develops ultra-high-speed ground transportation systems, among others. Both companies together with the governments of Switzerland and India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a release said on Friday. Jointly, Swisspod and TuTr Hyperloop will spearhead the design and funding of a testing centre in India that will serve as a hub for refining hyperloop technology, facilitating various experiments and validating its feasibility in real-world conditions. The two companies will pool their expertise and resources to accelerate research, testing, and innovation in the field, ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable progression of hyperloop systems.

BS ReporterHyderabad, 6 September: Los Angeles-based Hyperloop Transportation Technologies(HTT) has signed an MoU with Andhra Pradesh government to develop a short-distance superfast transport facility between Vijayawada and the upcoming capital of Amaravati using its patented technology that can potentially bring down the journey time between the two cities to less than 5 minutes.During the first phase HTT will conduct a six-month feasibility study commencing in October and in the second phase HTT's first hyperloop project in India will be built in Amaravati, the government said.HTT is one of the two companies besides Tesla and Space X's founder Elon Musk's Boring Company that have been actively pursuing the hyperloop concept based on magnetic levitation. While hyperloop technology was conceived to bring travel time between large distances from days to hours, AP government has chosen to experiment with the technology for a hyper short distance as a starting point." We are extremely ..
