TUM Hyperloop is an advanced research program based in Munich’s Isar Valley that develops the technology to make convenient and sustainable ultra-high-speed transportation a reality. Currently, our team is designing and building Europe’s first passenger-size hyperloop demonstrator – a 24-meter-long test segment to evaluate and prove the working principle of all key technologies needed for making the system market-ready. The program grew out of a student initiative, founded to develop and build prototypes in order to compete in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competitions. Our team developed the winning pods for all 4 competitions and currently holds the world record with an impressive top-speed of 482 km/h.
