Moscow may one day get a supersonic competitor to its
grand metro system.
Hyperloop One yesterday announced thatdeal signed with Hyperloop One could bring
the futuristic transportation system not just to
the Russian capital, but also to the vast expanse
of central Asia.
it had signed an agreement with city officials and The Summa
Group, a Russian company that funds infrastructure projects,
to explore the possibility of building a Hyperloop system
around the Moscow region.
Though speeding Moscow's population of 16 million people
around the sprawling capital would be an initial goal,
Hyperloop One cofounder Shervin Pishevar said the network
also would be the first step in an eventual connection to
China. "Our longer-term vision is to work with Russia to
implement a transformative new Silk Road: a cargo Hyperloop
that whisks freight containers from China to Europe in a day,"
he said.
Backed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Hyperloop technology
promises to revolutionize long-distance transport. Using
magnets to levitate pods holding passengers or cargo in an
airless tube, the floating pods could reach speeds of up to
700 mph (1,127 kph).
Projected costs or a timeline for building a Moscow system
were not released. Though no working Hyperloop systems
have yet been built, other projects are being explored for sites
in Finland, the US and the UK.
