About Transpod
________________________________________
Transpod Inc. is a startup dedicated to bringing the Hyperloop (a super-high speed ground transportation concept proposed by Elon Musk) to reality. TransPod’s defining feature is innovation and cutting-edge research, and it is aggressively working to create the world’s leading Hyperloop design. The company has already designed a first half-scale prototype, and intends to present a full-scale concept at the InnoTrans Rail show in September 2016 in Berlin. This will be the first step towards a commercially viable product expected within 3 to 5 years.
The Hyperloop technology has the potential to be one of the most disruptive technologies of the 21st century, similar to the impact of the steam powered train.
Transpod developed an academic collaboration with the University of Toronto’s Institute for Multidisciplinary Design and Innovation (IMDI) and corporate partnerships with REC Architecture. The company has already attracted top engineering talent in aerospace, physics, electromagnetics, signal processing and computer engineering fields. Transpod has a prominent advisory board and has created interest from the international transportation and engineering community.
Our Vision
________________________________________
Transpod Inc. intends to propose a high speed line between two major Canadian metropolitan areas such as Toronto-Montreal as a first major project. Transpod Inc. also has a global vision for emerging markets in Asia and the Middle-East.
Although Transpod Inc. is a Toronto based startup, our target market is the one trillion plus dollar global transportation market. Our vision is to target both the passenger and cargo transportation market.
Transpod Inc. will look to partner with Canada’s Federal Government, the Provincial Governments as well as government agencies such as Transport Canada. Outside of Canada, Transpod Inc. will focus on countries that have aging infrastructure, high density population and need for transportation innovation. Countries and regions such as China, the Middle East, Australia and Russia may present interesting opportunities.
Aside from the government, Transpod Inc. will also look to partner with private enterprises such as local or national transportation companies, engineering firms, and global construction companies.
