The European Commission has identified hyperloop as a “game-changing mobility technology” in its sustainability strategy. The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy – released this week – says that developing new technologies is “key to staying ahead of the curve”. The strategy outlines how the EU will reduce transit-related greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2050 as part of the European Green Deal. It backs the wider use of hyperloop going forward, along with drones, autonomous vehicles, hydrogen aircraft, electric personal air vehicles, electric waterborne transport and clean urban logistics. “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.
