Zeleros joins Hyperloop Development Program

Zeleros (Valencia, Spain), a deep-tech company specializing in hyperloop vehicle design and development, is now a partner within the Hyperloop Development Program (HDP), a collaborative initiative aimed at accelerating the development and adoption of hyperloop technology in Europe. 

According to CEO David Pistoni, Zeleros’ joining with HDP is poised to redefine transportation in Europe and accelerate the transition towards sustainable, high-speed travel (for more on Hyperloop technology, read “Into the Hyperloop”). This includes the growth of the hyperloop ecosystem. The company plans to test some of its propulsion developments at the track in Groningen, Netherlands, complementary to the ones already executed in dynamic test tracks in Spain, to accelerate technology validation for eventual hyperloop commercialization.

“Working together and open innovation play a crucial role in advancing hyperloop as a new transport modality,” says Maarten Vanneste from Denys, representing the partners as an HDP board member. “Since its inception in 2020, the Hyperloop Development Program has witnessed consistent expansion through the addition of partner organizations.”

Zeleros’ involvement will facilitate stronger ties between HDP partners and ongoing projects in Spain, such as the Hypertrack in Sagunto and the announced Castilla la Mancha test track. Sharing learnings between all HDP stakeholders will also be a key cornerstone of this collaboration to further enhance the advancement of hyperloop.

According to Zeleros, composite materials are of interest for the production of its hyperloop pods thanks to their specific resistance, and have already been experimented with in different projects.
