Extraordinary Eco Speed-Trains

The Hassell A-HSV is a Bullet Train into the Future

— June 6, 2011 — Eco
Australia is a massive continent that can sometimes be hard to travel around, but the Hassell A-HSV seeks to remedy this problem with a staggeringly speedy bullet train concept.

The Hassell A-HSV (Australian High-Speed Vehicle) is a stunning double-decker train that looks every part of the ideal 21st Century transportation Oasis. Concept images of the Hassell A-SHV feature people calmly seated in a luxurious and roomy modern locomotive that boasts an elaborate dining room, private meeting rooms and even a convenience store.

Not only is the Hassell A-HSV a speedy alternative to planes and cars, it is a much more environmentally friendly one as well. A typical cross-continent Australian flight releases 17 KG of CO2 into the atmosphere, while a similar car ride releases 14 KG of C02 into the atmosphere, but the Hassell A-HSV bullet train would only emit a mind-blowing 4 KG of C02.

There is no set date for the release of the Hassell A-HSV bullet train, but it can be expected to forever alter the landscape of Australian cross-continent travel.

1. Eco-friendly Transportation - The development of the Hassell A-HSV bullet train highlights an emerging trend towards eco-friendly transportation innovations that are both efficient and luxurious.
2. High-speed Rail - The Hassell A-HSV bullet train is an example of the growing trend towards high-speed rail solutions as a sustainable transportation alternative.
3. Multi-purpose Transportation - The Hassell A-HSV bullet train demonstrates a trend towards multi-purpose transportation that combines luxury and efficiency, with features such as dining rooms, private meeting rooms and convenience stores.
