Come August, national roadshow brings hyperloop pod to US communities

KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Virgin Hyperloop One (VHO) has launched its first US roadshow to bring XP-1 hyperloop pod to communities across the United States (US) and start a dialogue on the new form of mass transportation.

The national roadshow kicks off as states and cities across the world are competing to be the first to implement hyperloop technology, realising the significant socio-economic benefits of early adoption.

The XP-1’s first stop will be in Columbus, Ohio on Aug 4, and will head to Arlington, Texas for three days, beginning Aug 8, and speeding to Kansas City, Kansas on Sept 14. It will also be stopping throughout the heartland to share the progress and promise of hyperloop technology.

It will give local communities a chance to see first-hand the historic test pod and learn more about their states’ progress in bringing hyperloop to fruition in a matter of years, according to a statement.

In May 2017, XP-1 completed the world’s first full-system hyperloop test. During the test, XP-1 had set the full-scale hyperloop speed record of 240 miles per hour on just 550 yards of track.

VHO is a leading hyperloop company launching the first new mode of mass transportation in over 100 years. For more information, visit https://hyperloop-one.com.
