06DEC2018 - NEWS - HHLA and HTT to jointly develop a system for transporting containers at high speed through a tube to and from the Port of Hamburg

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) have recently established a joint venture aimed at developing a system that would enable transporting containers at high speed through a tube to and from the Port of Hamburg. Initially, plans include the construction of a transfer station for testing purposes at the HHLA terminal in Hamburg and the development of a transport capsule for standard shipping containers. With the help of magnetic levitation technology, the transport capsules used in the system will be sent through a tunnel, in which there is a partial air vacuum, at speeds reaching or even exceeding 1000 km/h.
