Virgin Hyperloop One has announced a development partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Economic City Authority (ECA) to conduct a study to build the world’s longest test and certification hyperloop track.
The project, which would include a 35-kilometer test and certification track, will create opportunities for the development of specific hyperloop technologies and develop local expertise in Saudi Arabia – which then be subsequently commercialized and scaled.
In addition to this, the study will also facilitate the development of localized hyperloop supply chains – and the acceleration of innovation clusters across the Kingdom.
Jay Walder, CEO, of Virgin Hyperloop One has expressed his delight at the partnership agreement, saying that the collaboration with their visionary partners in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will turn this technology into a mass transportation solution.
