MAD Produces Concepts for Eco-Forward Transportation Solutions

— September 30, 2019 — Eco
From electric cars to flying vehicles, new modes of transportation are continuously conceptualized by design-forward companies and this solar-powered hyperloop system is yet another example of that. The project is envisioned by architectural studio MAD who worked alongside HyperloopTT — "one of the two main companies working to build a near-supersonic transportation system."

Aside from serving as an incredibly efficient way to get a person from point A to point B, the solar-powered hyperloop system is designed to satisfy wholesome urban environments, as well. That is, MAD envisions a public space and walkway that run parallel to the tracks, facilitating a stronger correlation between "the artificial [and] nature." Wrapped in a solar panel skin, the solar-powered hyperloop also satisfies demands for sustainability.
