Project description
Paving the way for ultra-fast trains racing through tubes
The Hyperloop is an innovative mode of passenger and freight transport. If all goes to plan, passengers may be zipping around in futuristic pods running through tubes at speeds above 1 000 kph. However, regulators first need to understand hyperloop operations. Also, industry and the R&D ecosystem need a better understanding of how this ultra-fast travel mode can work. The EU-funded HYPERNEX project focuses on the need for a catalyst to facilitate the development of the European hyperloop ecosystem and contribute to the convergence of R&D institutions, industry actors, regulators and societal needs with hyperloop developers. The project will improve understanding between hyperloop developers and pave the way for this mode of transport.
Objective
HYPERNEX addresses the need for a catalyst to accelerate the development of the fifth mean of transport, hyperloop, in Europe. A convergence of R&D entities, industry players, regulators and society needs to be aligned with hyperloop developers. While regulators and standardization bodies need to understand the operation and specification of the new transport mode, the industry and R&D ecosystem need a better understanding on how they can provide value to enhance hyperloop technical development. Therefore, HYPERNEX will cover the ignition of this work, bringing the relevant information into a monolithic asset, creating a ground of understanding among hyperloop developers and providing also the inertia to make the movement sustainable and durable in the coming years.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
