Virgin Hyperloop

Virgin Hyperloop has released a video showing its vision for a high-speed transportation system which, it says, will allow passengers to travel at the speed of 670 miles per hour

Think about the future of transportation, and you might envision the old animated show "The Jetsons," with everyone flying around in personal spaceships.

Hyperloop might just be a dream for Indian commuters spending hours in their travel, but Tanay Manjrekar of Virgin Hyperloop is optimistic on its India rollout.

Government think-tank NITI Aayog has formed a high-level panel to explore the technological and commercial viability of the Virgin Hyperloop technology for ultrahigh speed travel in India, weeks after its first test was completed with humans on board.

Tata Steel Europe, a unit of India’s Tata Steel, and South Korea's POSCO will collaborate to develop steel tubes needed for high-speed hyperloop transportation systems, the companies said in a joint statement on Monday.

Richard Branson's Virgin Hyperloop has completed the world's first passenger ride on a super high-speed levitating pod system, the company said on Sunday. Josh Giegel, its Chief Technology Officer, and Sara Luchian, Director of Passenger Experience, reached speeds of up to 107 miles per hour (172 km per hour) at the company's DevLoop test site in L...

The pod is propelled by magnetic levitation, a type of technology already used in MagLev trains in China which can achieve speeds of up to 480 kmph.

Richard Branson's Virgin Hyperloop has completed the world's first passenger ride on a super high-speed levitating pod system, the company said on Sunday, a key safety test for technology it hopes will transform human and cargo transportation.

Maharashtra has granted infrastructure project status for a $10-billion plan to build the world's first ultra-fast hyperloop project, aiming to link the financial hub of Mumbai with the neighbouring city of Pune.

In an impetus to the dream journey between Mumbai and Pune in under 35 minutes, the Maharashtra government has approved the Virgin Hyperloop One-DP World consortium as the "Original Project Proponent" (OPP) for the Pune-Mumbai hyperloop project -- a move that will generate jobs and over $36 billion in various socio-economic benefits.

Virgin Hyperloop One's biggest shareholder, Dubai's DP World, said the company was seeking a new chairman.

Richard Branson is quitting as chairman of Virgin Hyperloop One, saying the company, that plans to build a supersonic transport system in the United Arab Emirates and other countries, needs a more actively involved leader, the firm said on Monday.

Virgin Hyperloop One has reached an agreement with Spanish state-owned rail infrastructure company Adif to build a $500 million research centre in Spain.

The travel time between Mumbai and Pune, which now is around four hours, will get reduced to just 25 minutes if a high-tech transportation system being explored by the Maharashtra government is implemented.

If Richard Branson has his way in India, hyperloop travel could turn out to be cheaper than a flight ticket.
