Hyperloop Transportation Technologies moves forward with first commercial
Hyperloop system in UAE
Agreement signed for world's first commercial Hyperloop system of 10km
between Abu Dhabi and Dubai
You could be hyperlooping your way between Abu Dhabi and Dubai as early as
2020! Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT) and Aldar
Properties on Wednesday inked an agreement for establishing the world's
first commercial Hyperloop system, connecting areas between the Capital and
Dubai.
As per the agreement, the system will come up in the Dh10-billion Al Ghadeer
community, which is close to the Abu Dhabi-Dubai border. The community is
located near the Kizad Free Zone, Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport
and the Dubai Expo 2020 site.
HyperloopTT chairman Bibop Gresta said the 10-km long project is expected to
be completed in time for the Expo 2020.
"The agreement involves the development of 10km of the first commercial
Hyperloop line in history. This project is in Al Ghadeer, but we want to
extend this line to Yas Island and connect the airport. This is the first
phase of a longer network we want to build in the region to connect the
various emirates," Gresta told Khaleej Times after the agreement signing
during the Cityscape exhibition in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The next phase of the project would connect the UAE to Saudi Arabia. "This
agreement creates the base for the first commercial Hyperloop system in the
world here in the Emirates, with the goal of eventually connecting Abu Dhabi
to Al Ain, Dubai, and Riyadh."
HyperloopTT will construct a Hyperloop system, HyperloopTT's XO Square
Innovation Centre and a Hyperloop Visitor Centre.
Elaborating on the first phase, Gresta said: "HyperloopTT has been in the
region for over two years. We were working on this project for a year. We
conducted a feasibility study with the Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi.
We are the only company to have conducted a real feasibility study in the
region. We have finished all prototyping and testing. The test was a
success. We opened the first facility to build full-scale prototype in
Toulouse (France)."
Earlier this month, HyperloopTT began construction of the first full-scale
passenger and freight prototype system in Toulouse and expects delivery of
the first passenger capsule later this year.
The capsule will be assembled and optimised in Toulouse prior to use in the
Emirates.
Aldar Properties chief executive officer Talal Al Dhiyebi said HyperloopTT
looks to bring one of the world's most revolutionary transportation
technologies to Abu Dhabi.
"Al Ghadeer sits at such a strategic point within the UAE - close to major
growth areas of both Abu Dhabi and Dubai - and it makes sense to pair it
with rapid transport opportunities. We believe that Hyperloop technology can
have a major positive impact on the lives of all of those living within our
communities, and we look forward to this possibility becoming a reality."
HyperloopTT CEO Dirk Ahlborn said the agreement is a big step towards the
world's first commercial Hyperloop system. "A forward-thinking nation like
the UAE is ideal for building the most revolutionary, most efficient, and
fastest transportation system in the world," he added.
