THE POTENTIAL OF FREIGHT HYPERLOOP
Sebastien Gendron – CEO & Co-FounderTransPod Inc.
MISSIONVISION“A world in which people, cities, and businesses are connected with affordable and sustainable ultra high-speed transportation”
“Developing the next generation of affordable and sustainable ultra high-speed transportation for a better connected and fossil fuel-free society”

TransPod is the Canadian company developing the hyperloop technology, a new mode of electric-powered ground transportation capable of transporting both passengers and cargo inside low-
pressure tubes, reaching speeds up to 1200 km/h.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
3
We are developing an integrated transportation system capable of transporting passengers and freight at speeds greater than 1000 km/h for a cost dramatically cheaper than air cargo and airplanes.
Concrete pillars are supporting a 4M diameter steel tube
The pressure is lowered to 100 PA inside the tube to remove air friction and achieve higher speeds
25 m-long levitating vehicles are circulating inside the tubes at 1000+ km/h, Allowing to ship freight and people faster than airplanes

Solar panels installed on top of the infrastructure generate power to make the system self-sustainable

Infrastructure is severely underprepared, and that mustering up the political will to push through infrastructure
improvements is critical.
There is a global need for faster and greener freight transport, largely due to the growth of e-commerce
worldwide.

BENEFITS FOR FREIGHT COMPANIES
Case Study 1: Global air freight company
Case Study 2: Global delivery specialist
LDH is facing a growing demand, putting strain on its fleet and
distribution centers. The company’s profit margin is heavily
dependent on fuel costs.
SPU is rapidly expanding its fleet and opening new distribution
centers to solve capacity problems due to increasing demand.
• Closing smaller distribution centers
• Doubling the capacity of the current distribution facility• Decreasing inventory costs by 25-30%
• Reducing the number of airplanes to Montreal
• Shipping everything via Hyperloop faster• Reducing transport costs compared to air freight
• Increasing cut-off times (shipping deadlines) from 6pm to 10pm
due to reduced transport time
• Increasing warehouse capacity, granting economies of scale
• Shipping more time-sensitive freight by hyperloop
• Avoiding congestion and weather-induced delays
• Automating last-mile and decrease costs
LDH would benefit from hyperloop by: SPU would benefit from hyperloop by:
