Problem

Emissions from international air transport are increasing faster [+7.3%, 2017] than from any other sector.

European Commission

Carbon emissions from aviation have more than doubled in the last 20 years.

Without radical change, the growing demand and impact of flying on our climate will cancel out the efforts of other sectors to decarbonise and have a drastic and irreversible impact on our planet.

Recent research shows that the effects of other non-CO2 emissions from jet engines – NOx, water vapour and particles – have a similar climate impact as all the accumulated CO2 from flights.

Through electromagnetic acceleration and levitation the capsules can transport goods and passengers efficiently and safely over long disances.

The vehicles are travelling through a low-pressure tube to reduce air resistance and achieve speeds up to 900 km/h.

The entire system can be operated fully electrical and with renewable energies.

Solution

Vacuum Transport will replace short to medium distance flights and reduce emissions by up to 95%.

By electromagnetic acceleration and levitation the capsules can transport goods and passengers efficiently and safely over long disances.

The vehicles are travelling in a low-pressure tube at reduced resistance and achieve speeds up to 900 km/h.

The all-electric systems can be powered reliably by renewable energies above and below ground.

Mission

The EuroTube Foundation is a non-profit research organisation and incubator for sustainable transportation technologies.

Research & Development

EuroTube is establishing research projects with industry partners and universities to innovate cutting-edge solutions and provide testing infrastructure.

Incubation & Transfer

EuroTube enables engineers and researchers to create new technology products, to found spin-off companies and use the foundation’s infrastructure to grow their startup.

Certification & Regulation

EuroTube sets technology standards for new transport technologies and is actively involved in the certification process for the public use.

Creating strong synergies with industry and university partners to build an Alliance to master the challenges together.

"We particularly like the idea to partner with an open, non-commercial foundation that promotes research and innovation on a concrete test track as well as for the hyperloop infrastructure itself. Our involvement in planning and construction work enables us to gain valuable insights into how to actually build such routes and into possible applications for this new transport system."

"Valais region offers an ideal academic, industrial and financial cluster to invent the mobility of tomorrow. We are very happy to work with the EuroTube project to make possible to imagine, develop and test these innovative technologies in situ."

"Building the future of global mobility in our region is a chance and an opportunity to be seized. The EuroTube should finally make it possible to implement a broad application of the hyperloop concept, fast, safe and environmental-friendly. We are proud and happy to be able to make a modest contribution."
