A 420-meter or quarter-mile white steel tube running alongside a railway line in the windswept northern Netherlands could usher in a new era in the transportation of people and freight.
One of the tubes allowing vehicles to travel on magnetic fields is seen at the new European test center for hyperloop transportation technology which opens in Veendam, northern Netherlands, Tuesday, March 26, 2024. – A 420-meter white steel tube running alongside a railway line in the windswept northern Netherlands could usher in a new era in the transportation of people and freight.
“I expect by 2030 you will have the first hyperloop route, maybe five kilometers in which people will actually be transporting passengers," said the center's director, Sascha Lamme."Actually there’s already preparations being done for such routes in for example Italy or India.
A test capsule built by Dutch hyperloop pioneer Hardt Hyperloop will take part next month in the first tests at the center that is funded by private investment as well as contributions from the provincial government, the Dutch national government and European Commission.
