Together with Mode5 GRAFT Architects is leading the endeavor to revolutionize Europe’s mobility systems: the Hyperloop.

Built on the existing infrastructure of the Autobahn, the Hyperloop needs only half of the time for permit and construction compared to a classic railroad system. The Hyperloop is part of the German Government coalition contract.

Together with Schlaich Bergermann we designed a kit of parts, that will be more affordable, as prefab construction costs are low and the wear and tear is minimal, hence will be privately funded.

It will gain more energy than it needs with added PV to shade the tubes and provide clean energy to e-vehicles and help fulfill the sustainability goals of the government. It will transport more people than any other mobility system and much faster. And it can connect the countryside to any metropolitan area and overall help a railroad system, that is at the end of its capacity, to become efficient again with the transportation of people and goods.

Hyperloop

A win-win solution, that has the power to connect people in Europe and abroad in a clean, safe and affordable way.

The Hyperloop interlocks with existing public transport systems in cities and regions through multimodal hubs. Unlike conventional rail, Hyperloop vehicles can join together to form trains and split up again, allowing them to run according to demand.

Small and medium-sized towns along the route will be connected, making them more accessible. This will strengthen their role as residential and business locations and promote regional development.
