Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and Kilo Design, Virgin Hyperloop’s Pegasus, or ‘XP-2’, is an autonomous transportation system created for hyperloop travel at speeds of over 1,000 kilometers per hour the fastest land-based means of travel yet.

“An enabling environment for such game-changing mobility technologies is key, so that the EU can become a prime deployment destination for innovators,” the strategy says.
