.@virginhyperloop became the first company to successfully transport humans in a magnetically levitating pod, through a tube at over 160 kilometers per hour. The test took place at Virgin Hyperloop’s DevLoop test track in the #Nevada desert.

The company’s CTO, #JoshGeigel, and Director of Passenger Experience #SaraLuchian are officially the first two people to have experienced the new form of ultra-fast transportation. Making history, both of them strapped themselves into the hyperloop pod.

@virginhyperloop

What is hyperloop? #Hyperloop is a new way of transportation. The aim is to make it faster than conventional methods but without being a burden on the #environment.

@virginhyperloop @richardbranson

It proposes to carry both people and cargo at ulta-fast speeds but without any direct emissions. Which is significant, considering the number of cars, trucks and even planes are set to double by 2040.
