About
The Swiss hyperloop platform.
EuroTube develops technologies and provides testing infrastructure for high-speed vacuum transportation technology such as Hyperloop. We built an R&D track record and hardware for cost and footprint-efficient tube solutions, rail-guided tracks, propulsion and vacuum systems. We are in the process of building the world’s most advanced test track for vacuum transport in Switzerland, called AlphaTube. Supported by leading Swiss and European research and industry players, we delivered successful prototype results, completed planning, technical designs, received the governmental approval and financed several 5-7 figure projects since 2018 for the AlphaTube. The AlphaTube is the world’s most advanced vacuum transport test track that operates electric pods efficiently with an unprecedented target speed of 900 km/h. AlphaTube will be made publicly accessible for research in sustainable mobility and brings together the European vacuum transport community in Switzerland for joint undertakings and engineering competitions. The 3 km long test track includes all necessary subsystems to provide the proof-of-concept and scalability for a commercially viable vacuum transport route.
