The Hyperloop concept was proposed by US billionaire Elon Musk in 2012. The technology provides for the high-speed transportation of passengers and goods in tubes.
New vehicles, powered by solar energy, will be twice as fast as the plane and three-four times faster than high-speed trains. The Hyperloop One and the Hyperloop Transportation Technologies are engaged in the project realization.
