Descripción del proyecto
El mayor salto en la infraestructura del transporte
El Hyperloop es el siguiente gran avance en movilidad. Se espera que esta forma futurista de transporte terrestre supere a los sistemas de transporte actuales en cuanto a costes y eficiencia energética. También podría romper las barreras de la distancia y el tiempo, al desplazar personas y mercancías más rápidamente que nunca antes. El Hyperloop utiliza plataformas flotantes de pasajeros que se desplazan a velocidades de hasta 1 000 km/h a través de tubos gigantes de baja presión. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Zeleros Hyperloop está desarrollando subsistemas de levitación y propulsión que permitirán reducir los costes de las infraestructuras, además de presentar un mantenimiento más sencillo, unas presiones más seguras y un menor consumo de energía. Según Zeleros, la empresa que coordina el proyecto, combina la velocidad de un avión con la frecuencia de un metro.
Objetivo
Over the years, transport of people and goods has become a key part of an increasingly globalised economy, reaching a
value of €4.14 Trillion in 2017, a 6% of the Gross World Product.
However, this expansion has not been trouble-free, and the infrastructure congestion, pollution or oil dependence have
become issues to be solved in order to carried out transport in a sustainable manner. That is why in 2013 the concept of
hyperloop has been created, a transport system based on pods that travel inside a tube with close to vacuum conditions;
which allows it to reach 1,000 km/h, combining the speed of the plane, the convenience of the train and the periodicity of the
metro making far journeys faster and more comfortable.
Despite its potential, the development of an Hyperloop system is a long-term project that will require the collaboration of
different companies to overcome the various challenges that will arise, especially related to the scalability of their systems,
the cost reduction and the operation of Hyperloop at a higher level. These challenges are mostly three: the very high cost of
the infrastructure construction, the manufacture of vehicles and the improvement of the internal systems of the vehicle,
especially propulsion and levitation, with the aim of optimizing them for the future complete scalability of the Hyperloop
concept while ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo.
Our solution to ensure this scalability involves an approach to levitation and propulsion subsystems that diverge from the
state-of-the-art, thus allowing reduced infrastructure costs, simpler maintenance, safer pressures and reduced energy
consumption.
Zeleros Global was founded in 2016 by a group of hyperloop experts for the definitive development of the transport system
in Europe. Its team has won several prizes in hyperloop design and development competitions. This project is expected to
help in the final development of this transport system, also generating €261M revenues
