10 questions about Hyperloop answered by Virgin Hyperloop CTO

9 October 2020 • In Video

After years of testing and developing hyperloop technology at its full-scale test site, Virgin Hyperloop has revealed its global Hyperloop Certification Center (HCC) will be located in the US.

This announcement builds off of significant progress in Europe on the regulatory front. The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DGMOVE) has held numerous workshops over the past 2 years with hyperloop companies in conjunction with regulatory authorities and standards bodies – leading to the establishment of a baseline for the functional blocks of a hyperloop system and safety requirements.

The European Commission is now carrying out a nine month study to develop a safety regulatory approach for Europe, the results of which will be used by the Commission to develop the regulatory policy for hyperloop technologies. Active discussions are also underway with the three European regulatory authorities – the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and the European Space Agency (ESA).
