Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT) has completed the world’s first HyperPort feasibility study in Brazil.
The study was undertaken in collaboration with Brazilian port logistics company EGA Group and LabTrans at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC).
Sustainable transport system
HyperloopTT is an innovation company dedicated to developing the hyperloop, a high-speed, sustainable transportation system. The study reveals the potential transformative impact of the HyperPort system to meet Brazil’s growing shipping demands while promoting sustainable economic growth.
“This is another historic milestone for HyperloopTT,” said HyperloopTT CEO, Andrés de León. “Since developing the HyperPort system with our partners at HHLA, we’ve engaged with numerous port operators and logistics providers worldwide. EGA Group in São Paulo was the first to embrace this groundbreaking technology, and the data from this study confirms that HyperPort will be a leading solution for the ports of the 21st century.”
Key findings include:
A 549km (341 miles) route connecting the Port of Santos to São Paulo, extending through major cities like Campinas and São José do Rio Preto
A two-way system transporting 5,600 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per day at 600km/h (370mph), reducing transit times from hours or days to minutes
The ability to bypass environmentally sensitive areas, avoiding the need for additional highway construction
A significant reduction in highway congestion, carbon emissions, and pavement wear, cutting millions of tons annually.
As Brazil continues to expand as a global shipping hub, the HyperPort system is poised to address critical challenges and complement major infrastructure projects like the expansion of the Imigrantes Road.
