DUBAI, United
Arab Emirates, Sept. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE):
Today, Virgin
Hyperloop revealed that they will be showcasing a full-scale hyperloop cargo
pod and a cutaway passenger pod as part of DP World’s
FLOW pavilion at Expo 2020.
“The constant
flow of goods has historically driven innovation in the transportation sector
and now more than ever, we must continue to future-proof the industry,”
said Sultan bin Sulayem, Chairman of DP World and Virgin
Hyperloop. “Hyperloop is poised to revolutionize the global on-demand
logistics market, and we are excited to share our vision for the technology in
the DP World FLOW pavilion at Expo 2020.”
Upon arrival to
the FLOW pavilion, visitors will see a full-scale commercial cargo pod replica,
which measures nearly 10 meters long. Once in the pavilion, guests will be able
to sit inside a cutaway passenger pod complete with production intent finishes
to see what a future journey on hyperloop will feel like. Surrounding the pod,
visitors will learn more about the technology and its future impact through
interactive displays, videos, and models.
“World Expos
have been debuting the most cutting-edge innovations for centuries, so we are
honored to showcase hyperloop technology on this global stage with DP World,”
said Josh Giegel, CEO and Co-Founder of Virgin Hyperloop. “I
hope that visitors will be able to imagine the not-too-distant future in which
they are passengers on a commercial hyperloop system in the Gulf region and
beyond.”
The pavilion
opens as part of Expo 2020 on 1 October 2021 and runs through 31 March 2022.
