From Milan to Venice in 15 minutes: Hyper Transfer, the ultra -very transport with magnetic levitation arrives in Veneto

Today to reach Venice from Milan It takes at least two and a half hours. In a future not too far to travel the almost 300 kilometers between the two capitals it will take « just 15 minutes », As the Venetian governor Luca Zaia said. Or, again, « from Berlin to Venice in just over an hour ». All « in silent, sustainable and zero emission mode ».
Dream or reality? The one presented at the Transport Logistic 2025 Salone in Munich is a project that will soon see the light. The first stone – or, better, the first Test Track – It will be laid right in Veneto, where it is about to be born Hyper Transfera system of Ultra -very transport based on capsules a magnetic levitation traveling in a system of low pressure ducts.

A vision of the future of transport that could soon become reality. After the feasibility study, validated by the University of Padua and Italferr, confirmed the feasibility of the experimental project, this technology will soon be tested in a 10 kilometer route between Padua and Venice. Here will be made on the field verification, in scale 1: 1, of each component: from the security systems to the capsules that – once the test phase is passed – will travel to over a thousand kilometers per hourup to the management of energy. « Hyper Transfer is not only a race against time, but a model of sustainable sustainability, » explained Zaia on the occasion of the presentation of the project. «Noise reduction of up to 70 decibels, energy consumption of 60% lower than the plane and a system that can produce more energy than it consumesthanks to the integration of photovoltaic panels along the track ».

A project that has its roots in the signing of the memorandum of understanding of 16 March 2022 between the Veneto Region, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and Venetian motorway concessions, in collaboration with Italferr – Group Ferrovie dello Stato, University of Padua, Webuild and Leonardo.
The idea of ​​an ultra -very transport system that exploits the pressure power has a long history and has its roots in a Experiment of the end of the 19th centurywhen the American entrepreneur Alfred Ely Beach had tried to create a train driven by pneumatic force. Idea collected, over a century later, from Elon Musk: 2017 is the study on Hyperloop Alphathe « fifth means of transport » (after cars, train, plane and ship). From that moment the race to the realization of this futuristic technology began which continues to turn on the interest throughout Europe (in 2024 theEuropean Hyperloop Center to allow companies to test their technologies) and in the rest of the world.
