Hyperloop Transportation Technologies
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) has announced that more than 400 core team members are now working on the first full scale hyperloop transportation.
This latest announcement welcomes several companies such as Oerlikon, AECOM and Hodgetts & Fung, who are offering critical infrastructure and technological support to HTT as they move towards building their 5 mile test track in California’s Quay Valley next year.
"Our team continues to grow and, along with these new alliances, is representative of the collaborative spirit of HTT and are key to our success in breaking ground in 2016," said Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of HTT.

“HTT's technology is very exciting and could have a significant impact on transportation infrastructure in the future," said Andrew Liu, Vice President of New Ventures at AECOM. "AECOM is the industry's leading engineering design firm, and HTT's approach to addressing transportation challenges is consistent with our focus on delivering innovative solutions that positively impact the communities we serve."
"Working with HTT to help make the Hyperloop a reality is an inspiring journey as we together share a vision to transform transportation, and with it, to transform neighborhoods, relationships and the way business is done," said Craig Hodgetts of Hodgetts & Fung Architects. "I, along with many others, believe it will be a reality before this century begins its full third decade!"
