Company mission
To achieve net zero by 2050, the global hyperloop network is an indispensable piece of the puzzle.
Our take
The race to build the global hyperloop has seen many companies, such as Elon Musk’s Boring Company, vying for engineering and software contracts. The Hardt Hyperloop is one of these businesses and has a particular focus on adhering to the net-zero by 2050 goal in the development of its projects.
The Hardt Hyperloop plans to use its low-pressure, high-speed, and autonomous tube network scheme to provide quick travel across the globe. The company has secured substantial funding for its hardware and software, and has set out to begin testing at the European Hyperloop Center in 2024, testing on a 420 meter-long test track. The Dutch company has plenty of backing behind it, indicating confidence from investors and engineers.
It's important to note, however, that it’ll be a good decade or two before the hyperloop sees any return on investment or can indeed be proven safe and fit for deliveries or passenger travel. There’s a long road ahead for companies such as Hardt Hyperloop, but the rewards definitely outweigh the risks, at least at these early stages.
