GRAFT takes the lead for the overall Hyperloop design

The Hyperloop is a magnetic levitation train system in vacuum tubes that sets new standards for transportation: it is autonomous, on-demand, and has minimal energy requirements.

Under the leadership of mobility pioneers Deutsche Rail Operations DRO and Mode5, this visionary idea is currently being implemented. GRAFT is taking the lead for the overall design. Our aim is to create an equally novel travel experience for this new way of traveling, conveying comfort and expanding borders.

The Hyperloop can improve existing transportation gaps much faster than conventional transportation planning can, with an energy requirement that is 70% lower than that of regular high-speed trains. Thanks to its elevated construction, the Hyperloop can use existing traffic axes, such as the central reservation of freeways, for its route. This drastically speeds up the approval and implementation processes. Additionally, the tube could be multifunctional and, for example, generate more electricity than it consumes via solar panels along the route.

Overall, the Hyperloop is expected to have operating costs that are at least 80% lower, which means it can be funded privately in the future.
