\n\nHyperloop TT will cooperate with Tongren Transport Tourism Development Investment Group Co Lt in Guizhou, a province in southwest China, and home to Guiyang Technological Development Zone which is a crucial part of China’s “Silk Road Economic Belt” initiative.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9593\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"Dirk$ Dirk Ahlborn, CEO Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, and Tao Lang, Chairman, Tongren Tourism & Transportation Investment Group Sign Historic Agreement.

They will work together to design the route for the system. Financing will be done through a public private partnership with 50 percent of the funds coming directly from Tongren government.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9598\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"HyperloopTT.\"$ HyperloopTT. Image Source: HyperloopTT.[/caption]\n\n“We envision that Hyperloop will play into a bigger role in the Silk Road Economic Belt, connecting the region to the rest of the world,” said Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of Hyperloop TT, “having worked alongside our government partners, Hyperloop has proven a viable solution for this immediate problem.”\n\nChina spends over $300 billion annually on infrastructure to address their rapidly growing urban populations, Ahlborn said, and the unique topography of Tongren offers great prospects to refine various construction methods through the partnership.\n\n“Tongren has always been focused on sustainable development,” said Chen Shaorong, mayor of the city, “the signing of the Hyperloop project is a major step to open up inland development, an important achievement of the year, and an important project to enlarge and strengthen the local economy.”\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_9597\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"720\"] $\"HyperloopTT\"$ HyperloopTT.

His Hyperloop consists of two massive tubes extending from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Pods carrying passengers would travel through the tubes at speeds topping out over 700 mph.\n\nHyperloop TT has a global team of over 800 engineers, and partnerships with 40 corporations and universities. Headquartered in Los Angeles, HyperloopTT's five global offices are located in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Toulouse, Barcelona and Bratislava in Slovakia.","publishedDate","2018-07-20T11:40:08.000Z","featured",false,"viewCount",0,"readingTime",3,"status","draft","language","en","originalWordPressId",9592,"featuredImage","featuredImageUrl","http://pandaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/HyperloopTT.jpg","categories",[40],{"_11":41,"_42":43,"_15":44,"_45":46,"_47":48},"szorqbpr9vbdlhbsy9uhyww1","name","Cross-border","cross-border","color","#000000","description","","tags",[51,56,59,63,67],{"_11":52,"_42":53,"_15":54,"_45":55,"_47":48},"ie81s10p6gkfpyyad5mr9ppy","elon musk","elon-musk","#6366f1",{"_11":57,"_42":58,"_15":58,"_45":55,"_47":48},"uk2mjw8fx0owoww7ixaeeveo","tesla",{"_11":60,"_42":61,"_15":62,"_45":55,"_47":48},"g1art04ecdrnqa1k9e1a786c","Hyperloop TT","hyperloop-tt",{"_11":64,"_42":65,"_15":66,"_45":55,"_47":48},"beqw0bg0tru4yg59nrfix7jg","Hyperloop System","hyperloop-system",{"_11":68,"_42":69,"_15":70,"_45":55,"_47":48},"r3xwyflgzpvvgmmhh1dt7vhv","Guizhou","guizhou","createdAt","2025-06-24T22:34:43.260Z","updatedAt","2025-06-24T23:45:34.906Z","publishedAt","2025-06-24T23:45:34.945Z","locale","pagination",{"_80":81,"_82":83,"_84":81,"_85":81},"page",1,"pageSize",12,"pageCount","total","currentPage","tag","tagSlug","actionData","errors"]
