Dublin company, Catapult, will sets the stage for Hyperloop One, billed as the future of transport.
The vision will be showcased in Berlin with the help of an Irish brand strategy and event production company who specialise in devising, designing and producing bespoke events for both international clients, have been brought aboard to work with Hyperloop One.
Hyperloop, the brainchild of Elon Musk, is a new mode of high-speed transport being developed. Passengers are propelled through vacuumless tubes, using a magnetic levitation propulsion system - with possible speeds of up to 1080kph.
This would make the trip from LA to San Francisco a 27 minute journey. The concept of distributed cities is born.
Hyperloop One will be exhibiting at Innotrans, the world’s largest rail transport fair. Investors, buyers, government transport policy makers and industry analysts will all be in attendance.
Ronan Healy, founder and managing director of Catapult, believes the goal is to communicate to the audience how revolutionary this mode of transport will be - and the fact that it is not just a concept, it is happening, and being developed: “Catapult have been brought in to collaborate with our client to conceive, design and build their first exhibition booth - which involves communicating the company's’ vision and educating the audience on the potential of this exciting technology. Fast, safe, sustainable energy is the transport of the future - and is happening now.
“We are excited to participate at Innotrans 2016 and introduce a new audience to Hyperloop,” said Erin Kearns, head of operations, Hyperloop One. “We worked with Catapult and designed an incredible interactive experience at our booth which will give attendees incredible insight into the future of transportation.”
