Hyperloop is ready to change the world of cargo transportation.

Over the past decade, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has been working hard to create a high-speed capsule system that is virtually frictionless. The main mission is to radically rethink the methods of passenger and cargo transportation. Recently, the company introduced a fresh innovation - the Express Freight system. This project is a fully automated system that combines vacuum tubes, levitating capsules and automatic conveyors with electric doors, which ensures instant loading and unloading of cargo.

According to HyperloopTT, the new system promises to be faster, more economical and more sustainable compared to air or road transportation. Express Freight was developed after a 2019 study on the possibility of creating a high-speed hyperloop cargo system, which turned out to be more profitable compared to air and road transportation.

The British design bureau Tangerine took part in the development of the system. The main goals of the project are: integration with previously developed infrastructure, maximizing the volume of cargo in capsules, ensuring the fastest possible loading of cargo and flexibility to meet various customer needs.

The Express system provides loading of smaller air cargo containers through the stepped loading and unloading doors of capsules, unlike the Hyperports system designed for large sea containers. After the capsule arrives at the terminal, an automated conveyor system simultaneously unloads incoming containers and loads outgoing ones.

HyperloopTT CEO Andres de Leon expressed confidence that the new system will " dramatically change the way goods are transported around the world." He stressed that thanks to innovations such as fast automated loading systems, maximum cargo capacity and flexible configurations, the hyperloop design was developed, optimized for transporting cargo at incredible speeds at lower fares than currently offered by aviation and roads.

The company plans to integrate the Express Freight system into the general infrastructure for passenger transportation. As previously shown, the passenger system is based on capsules that accelerate to speeds of up to 760 mph (1,223 km/h) using a Maglev system operating inside vacuum tubes.
