Commercial hyperloop moves a step closer in Italy

Transportation and technology company HyperloopTT is forming a joint venture that could lead to the construction of the world’s first commercial hyperloop system in Italy.

It is collaborating with Italian-based industrial companies Webuild and Leonardo to study the feasibility of a hyperloop operating prototype named Hyper Transfer to carry cargo and passengers.
