From Global Composites we have promoted the work carried out by Hyperloop UPV whose objective is to design, implement and perfect the hyperloop technology with almost a decade of experience.
At Hyperloop UPV, each season they face the challenge of creating a new vehicle, incorporating new ideas and improving the proposal. To do this, they work closely with companies whose support is essential and who, together with the diversity of talent and perspectives they have to effectively address technical and logistical challenges, are able to present competitive vehicles and business plans.
The team became world champions at the European Hyperloop Week season 23/24 in Zurich, Switzerland, with Vesper, their seventh hyperloop vehicle since 2015, which travelled levitating and propelling itself through passive rail infrastructure, the first vehicle to achieve dynamic levitation in a vacuum.
With an improved design, its strength is scalability. An evolution of German Transrapid maglev technology, with the linear motor shuttle and a hybrid electromagnetic suspension system on board, a rail-mounted thruster for the initial take-off phase and a fully pressurised tube. This approach offers good scalability in economic terms, as it reduces the complexity of the infrastructure and thus its costs.
The collaboration with Hyperloop UPV through its PM of partners, Claudia Lara, responds to our commitment from Global Composites with new talents and new proposals that look towards a cleaner future. Moreover, our DNA, based on training and learning, has been a key aspect of this collaboration and, generally speaking, will be even more so in 2025.
Global Composites as a supplier of quality materials and know-how.
At Global Composites, as specialists in the commercialisation of high quality materials, with a firm commitment to sustainability, innovation and support for technological and educational projects, we wanted to play a key role in the success of the construction of the new vehicle: training the team on the one hand and sending the necessary materials for the final success of their proposal on the other.
Hyperloop technology represents a revolution in mobility, destined to transform the way we live and travel, and could establish itself as the disruptive mode of transport that will take us into the future.
This collaboration between the two entities fosters the development of engineering and technological competences through the use of composites, promoting innovation and sustainability in the manufacturing processes of this type of vehicles.
Our purpose is to build a more sustainable future together, collaborating in projects such as this Hyperloop UPV project in which we are part of its sponsorship and we facilitate the functional part through quality and recyclable materials, as well as learning through more specific training that will help them to complete the response capacity of the entire team involved, to challenges that may arise throughout the process.
