Virgin Hyperloop One: Richard Branson takes the Train En Marche

Hyperloop One is one of the companies that has worked the most to date to the development of this futuristic and ultra -fast train imagined by Elon Musk, passing this summer successfully several life -size test phases and having already started to work on several projectscommercial lines.At the end of last week, this start-up signed a very important partnership for the rest of the events, since it welcomes in its capital the British billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson, through his industrial group Virgin.A marriage that makes sense when you know that Virgin has already sought to shake up the rail and air transport markets with Virgin Trains and Virgin Atlantic, by focusing on a low cost approach.

Consequently, Hyperloop One becomes Virgin Hyperloop One, and Shervin Pishevar - co -founder and boss of the company - is more enthusiastic than ever."Virgin is a world famous brand and having Richard Branson by our side to develop our project will give us more strength to deploy Hyperloop One lines worldwide," he comments.Richard Branson replied, just as optimistic: "As the owner of a railway company, I felt that it was something that I wanted to operate myself [...] After having been able to visit the Hyperloop One test site in Nevada this summer, and having met the people who direct things there, I am convinced that the Hyperloop avant-garde technology will upset transport as weKnow it at present and significantly reduce travel times ".

If the amount of the operation has not been disclosed, let us specify that Richard Branson will sit on the board of directors of Virgin Hyperloop One.Last month, Hyperloop One had again raised $ 85 million, bringing the total of its bottom to $ 245 million and its valuation at $ 700 million.There is no doubt that this agreement made with Virgin will allow the company to take even more importance.

Hyperloop One, ahead of competition from a technical point of view, but also commercial

Currently, the tests led by Hyperloop One in the depressed tube of its test track are traveling a "pod" at more than 300 km/h over a distance of 500 meters.We are still far from the 1,200 km/h ahead, having to put San Diego 12 minutes and 30 seconds from Los Angeles.But as the test track extends, the speeds are progressing and Hyperloop One is activated to secure certain markets, having already aroused the interest of several countries such as Mexico or India, in addition to the states-United, Canada and...from the United Kingdom.

Richard Branson judges the project of a London - Edinburgh line relevant.While it is currently more than 4 hours at the Virgin trains to make the journey of about 650 kilometers separating the two cities, Richard Branson already dreams of a hyperloop line which would reduce this journey time to a little more than halfonly time.
