Hyperloop to "fire" with service route in China
While it was the tycoon Elon Musk who "imagined" the Hyperloop-based mode of transportation, the concept exploded the race for technology, with Virgin and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies from JumpStarter. It is exactly the HTT that could be the first to launch its system, built in the Chinese province of Guizhou, in a town called Tongren.HTT has signed an agreement with Chinese authorities to build an initial 10 kilometer circuit, Engadget said, a distance that theoretically does not allow it to reach the speed projected by the technology. Taking into account that foreign companies are not normally authorized to operate in China, HTT has formed a local consortium, where the company will be responsible for the technology, equipment design and engineering specialization; the Chinese company will certify the circuit, the regulations and the construction of the transport infrastructure, in a financing shared between the parties.
The Chinese region hosts the so-called Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, a kind of Chinese Silicon Valley to attract technology companies. Several technology companies have already settled in, such as Microsoft, Tencent, Huawei, Alibaba and Qualcomm.
HTT expects this Hyperloop startup to be auspicious, and if all goes well, the network may expand to other regions of China, a must-have business opportunity, as it will allow you to test and perfect the technology in real-world environment.
