It is probably the new way of fast travel since the speed of the device reaches 1,000 km / h.
If this plan is implemented, it will be able to replace some air travel. But the big advantage of this system is that it is much more environmentally friendly than airplanes.
The Dutch authorities are considering implementing this new technology called Hyperloop. The aim is to ‘unite’ five major European cities so that travel between them is faster and cheaper. These are Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Düsseldorf.
The journey from the Dutch capital to Paris will take less than 90 minutes and to Brussels 30 minutes.
The way to achieve such a high speed is by creating a vacuum in front of the capsule inside the tube where it is located.
The question, however, is whether there is economic viability. Australia rejected this and preferred to invest in improving existing public transport.
But the Dutch believe that saving time will also bring economic benefits. It is also believed that more people from other countries will be able to travel daily to Amsterdam to work, something that will benefit the country financially.
