Zeleros strengthens european hyperloop ecosystem by joining the HDP

Zeleros, a leading European deep-tech company specializing in hyperloop vehicle design and development, is now a partner within the Hyperloop Development Program (HDP). This collaboration marks a significant step toward revolutionizing high-speed transportation in Europe and beyond.

David Pistoni, CEO of Zeleros, emphasized, "Our partnership with the HDP represents a significant milestone in the development of hyperloop technology. Together, we are poised to redefine transportation in Europe and accelerate the transition to sustainable, high-speed travel."

By joining forces with the HDP, Zeleros aims to contribute to the growing hyperloop ecosystem, fostering innovation and multiplying progress in the industry. The company will test some of its propulsion developments at the test track of the European Hyperloop Center in Groningen, the Netherlands. This is complementary to the ones already executed with dynamic test tracks in Spain, thus allowing acceleration of technology validation that is needed for hyperloop commercialization.  

Maarten Vanneste, from Denys and representing the partners as an HDP Board Member, stated, "Working together and open innovation play a crucial role in advancing hyperloop as a new transport modality. Since its inception in 2020, the Hyperloop Development Program has witnessed consistent expansion through the addition of partner organizations. The inclusion of Zeleros marks a significant milestone on our path towards faster, more eco-friendly, and efficient transportation."

The involvement of Zeleros will facilitate stronger ties between HDP partners and ongoing projects in Spain, such as the Hypertrack in Sagunto and the announced Castilla la Mancha test track.

Sharing learnings between all HDP stakeholders will also be a cornerstone of this collaboration to further enhance the advancement of hyperloop. Coen de Ronde, Director of the Hyperloop Development Program, commented, "Zeleros is a natural fit within the Hyperloop Development Program, which already includes esteemed partners like Eurotube, Hardt Hyperloop, the Institute of Hyperloop Technology of Hochschule Emden/Leer, and Nevomo. Together, we are building an interconnected hyperloop community."
