Connecting cities
at high speeds
in a sustainable way
EuroTube is a non-profit research organisation based in Switzerland working to accelerate the development of hyperloop as a sustainable high-speed transport technology.

The challenge
of sustainable
transport
- Emissions from international air transport are increasing and make it impossible to achieve our climate goals.
- As passenger numbers double over the coming two decades, so do the emissions from air travel.
- More and more goods have to be transported quickly and safely.

Air passengers in billions
The hyperloop technology combines the advantages of trains and airplanes
Up to 1000 km/h maximum speed
Hyperloop is the next evolution in rail-based transport. The technology is fast, flexible, and convenient.
All-electric
Running on renewable electricity, hyperloop technology can avoid harmful emissions.
Directly connects city centres or logistics hubs
Hyperloop infrastructure can provide an alternative to short- and medium distance flights and relieve busy travel and freight routes.
EuroTube's mission:
Making hyperloop
a reality
- At EuroTube, we aim to accelerate the development of sustainable vacuum transport by fostering R&D and education and by providing the necessary testing facilities where hyperloop technology can evolve.
- We think the key to a market-ready hyperloop is getting the infrastructure of magnet-levitation tracks and vacuum systems right from the beginning.
- That is why we are developing our own component designs and building a technology demonstration track DemoTube. We are also planning the first full-speed test track AlphaTube in Switzerland.
EuroTube:
A research foundation with an entrepreneurial spirit
- EuroTube is a Swiss non-profit research organisation recognised in Switzerland as a research institute of national importance. We focus our energy on becoming Europe’s leading knowledge hub for hyperloop and making the infrastructure ready for deployment first in test tracks and later, in hyperloop networks.
- On this mission, we want to equally involve governments, universities and industry. Together we are building a startup enablement ecosystem for sustainable transport technology and empower young engineers to disrupt the way people move on our planet.
