Hyperloop in the Benelux: Opportunities for cross-border connectivity and high-tech cluster development
Study investigating the potential of Hyperloop development for the Benelux countries and North Rhine-Westphalia.
This study explores the potential of Hyperloop development for the Benelux countries and North Rhine-Westphalia. The study consists of two main parts:
- Cluster opportunities: a description of the opportunities and considerations for developing a high-tech industrial cluster with companies and governments from the Benelux and North Rhine-Westphalia around Hyperloop and related technology.
- Proof-of-concept: research into opportunities for a first Hyperloop line of several kilometers in the Benelux and North Rhine-Westphalia, with specific attention to cross-border connections and both freight and passenger transport modalities.
The study was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management on behalf of the Benelux Hyperloop working group, in close collaboration with the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
