Virgin Hyperloop One targets Washington, presents transit technology

KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- Virgin Hyperloop One (VHO) is currently showcasing its industry-leading technology at the ‘Hyperloop On The Hill’ event in Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. to members of Congress and federal stakeholders.

The world’s only hyperloop company to successfully test its technology at scale, continues to broaden support of revolutionary transportation technology globally.

The company’s demonstration focuses on a new mode of transportation that will change the movement of passengers and cargo in a safe, sustainable and efficient way.

Virgin Group founder, Richard Branson said: “We are seeing growing interest and excitement in the hyperloop vision from across the United States (US), Europe and India at both local and federal level.”

This summer, VHO will travel across the US to showcase its XP-1 vehicle, connect with communities and educate local and state governments on the tangible benefits of hyperloop.

VHO’s technology would transport passengers and goods three times as fast as high-speed rail and enable regional cities to connect just as local city subways connect neighbourhoods.
