Designed to exclusively operate on an ultra-high-speed ground transportation system called the TransPod Line, the new electric vehicle can travel in a protected guideway at more than 1,000km/h.

TransPod Line is a network system with stations in crucial locations and major cities. It will have high-frequency departures to facilitate quick, safe and affordable journeys.

This project is anticipated to generate up to 140,000 jobs, as well as add $19.2bn to the region’s GDP during the construction phase.

TransPod co-founder and CEO Sebastien Gendron said: “All the hard work over the past few years has led to this milestone moment where talk is becoming a reality.

“The technology is proven, and we have the confidence of investors, governments, and partners to continue pushing forward to redefine transportation effectively.”

This year in March, TransPod received $550m in funding from Broughton Capital Group and China-East Resources Import & Export for the ‘hyperloop’ system between Edmonton and Calgary, Canada.

The TransPod Line will enable journeys between Edmonton and Calgary in 45 minutes. At present, such journeys take more than three hours by car.
