A futuristic transportation system

And if cargo transportation could happen as fast as a plane, but here on land and with much lower costs, that is the revolutionary proposal of the HTT company that plans to implement in Brazil a tube system with partial vacuum, where containers will be able to travel from the port of Santos to the interior of San Paulo in a few minutes. This innovation promises to completely change the country's logistics by significantly reducing truck traffic on Brazilian roads, hyperloop Transportation Technologies HTT in partnership with Colab Trends of the Federal University of Santa Catarina and the Brazilian logistics group EGA is bringing to Brazil this revolutionary technology capable of transporting giant 12-meter containers at almost 600 km/h, a speed comparable to that of airplanes, currently up to 15,000 trucks daily face the congested roads between the port of Santos and San Paulo, a trip that depending on traffic can take more than 2 hours, with the Hyperport this same trip would be reduced to only 20 minutes. This technology could take up to 4,000 trucks off the roads every day making freight transportation not only faster, but also much more sustainable.

The system uses capsules that slide inside a tube with partial vacuum with almost no air resistance reaching impressive speeds of almost 600 km/h with a daily capacity planned for almost 5,000 trips between Santos and San Paulo and more than 4,000 daily trips between San Paulo and Campinas the economic and environmental impact is gigantic, according to recent studies the Santus Campinas route of approximately 169 km would be the most lucrative, generating income around 17,000 million dollars over its useful life. This section is just the beginning of an even larger project with a total planned route of more than 540 km reaching San José de Hill Preto, the Hyperport is not a cheap project, around 9,000 million dollars are needed just for the initial infrastructure, in addition to operational costs estimated at 2,000 million dollars throughout its useful life, even so the financial projections are encouraging with total public financing the internal rate of return reaches an impressive 62%, making it an extremely attractive opportunity For investors, even with partial participation of private investment the project remains profitable and viable, opening doors to public-private partnerships that could accelerate the implementation of the Hyperport.

The benefits of Hyperport go far beyond saving time in the coming decades, the system promises to avoid the daily emission of more than 900 tons of CO2, helping Brazil meet its environmental goals, in addition, fewer trucks on the roads mean fewer accidents, less pollution and lower road maintenance costs with an estimated indirect savings of 2,000 million dollars. This is a revolution that will benefit not only companies but the entire Brazilian society, the next decisive step is the conclusion of the technical, economic and environmental feasibility study, government approval and the definition of financing models will determine if this futuristic project will become a reality.
