The minister does not give up hope for appearance of a new type of transport in Ukraine.
The vacuum tube train Hyperloop, the ideological inspirer of which is the inventor and investor Elon Musk, may be launched on the territory of Ukraine in 2023-2025, Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan said during interview with OBOZREVATEL.
According to the Minister of Infrastructure, the Ukrainian train should connect the Baltics and the Black Sea.
“The first travel by Hyperloop in the world is to happen in Abu-Dhabi in 2020 during the world exhibition. 2023-2025 years are the optimistic scenario for Ukraine. Our idea is to connect the Baltics and the Black Sea. Currently, we see a huge potential in this direction”, the minister told.
Omelian also noted that Hyperloop Transportation technologies, which control all the processes, related to the vacuum tube train, promises the project payback period in 12 years.
The minister thinks that contrasted with the railroad, which is never paid off, Hyperloop gives the country positive signals.
