"As engineers, we're guys who want to play with stuff and that can really happen here," said Lucien Linders, director of the Future Mobility Park.

The transportation on the highway was a real spectacle and drew many spectators. Many people recognized the tube, which made its transport extra fun. Getting the hyperloop across the highway to the Future Mobility Park was a challenge, but it worked!

Why the hyperloop is going to change the future‍

The hyperloop aligns perfectly with our mission to make mobility more sustainable and future-proof. In fact, this hyper-innovative mode of transportation has the potential to dramatically change the way we travel as we know it:

- Currently, 10% to as much as 25% of city space is used for mobility. With the hyperloop, only half as much space is needed.

- With the hyperloop, you can travel in 30 minutes to a city 300 kilometers away. This makes it possible to live further away from your work, without having to spend a long time in traffic jams.

- Today, transportation is still responsible for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. Travel on the hyperloop has no direct emissions and can be powered by green electricity.

- If nothing changes, the energy consumption needed for transportation will grow by as much as 70% by 2050. The hyperloop requires 10x less energy than road or air transportation.
