马斯克旗下超级高铁明年开测

特斯拉CEO埃隆•马斯克旗下的超级高铁项目公司Hyperloop Technologies周二宣布，将从2016年开始在内华达州沙漠中测试超级高铁，实现马斯克将超高速旅行带给大众的理想。

该公司将在内华达州Apex工业园的约50英亩土地上进行“推进户外试验”。

据该公司的声明称，测试将在2016年第一季度启动。

“此决定是我们在实现Hyperloop商业运行上迈过的又一个里程碑。Hyperloop将首先投资政府支持的地区。”Hyperloop公司CEO罗布•罗伊德（Rob Lloyd）表示。

该公司已经与内华达经济开发办公室和北拉斯维加斯市合作，获批在那块土地上建设高铁。他们的目标是让Hyperloop系统在2020年前达到540公里/小时的速度。该系统是要在2个目的地之间建造全尺寸的胶囊列车，通过磁悬浮技术和受控环境加速技术，使用交通仓运送旅客和货物。

该系统将使用可再生能源，实现零碳排放。该项目计划使旧金山和洛杉矶之间的行程缩短至30分钟。(财富中文网)

Hyperloop Technologies, the business attempting to bring TeslaCEO Elon Musk’s idea of lightspeed travel to the masses, announced Tuesday it will begin testing in the Nevada desert in 2016.

The company will have their Propulsion Open Air Test, as they’ve dubbed it, on about 50 acres of land in Apex Industrial Park in Nevada.

Testing is expected to kick off in the first quarter of 2016, according to a press release.

“This decision represents another major milestone in our journey to bring Hyperloop to commercial reality,” Hyperloop Technologies CEO Rob Lloyd said in statement. “Hyperloop Technologies will invest first in regions where we receive government advocacy to move fast.”

The company partnered with the Nevada Office of Economic Development and City of North Las Vegas to get approval to build on the land.

The goal is to have a functioning Hyperloop system that will travel at 540 km/hour in place by 2020.
