An experimental section with a length of ten kilometers of the Hyper Transfer ultra-fast conveyor system will be made in Veneto between Padua and Venice. On the occasion of the fair Transport Logistic in Munich was Successful conclusion of feasibility study announced for the construction of the line to experiment with the high-speed transport (up to 630 km/h for the test track and 1000 km/h for any future commercial route) through a tube with very low pressure in which capsules with magnetic levitation technology, each of which can Carry 12 tons of containerized cargo or 38 passengers.

The governance of the research and development project was entrusted to a complex organisation including a technical committee, formed by the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Veneto Region and the Concessioni Autostradali Venete (CAV), assisted by a structure made up of the companies of the FS Italferr group and Italcertifer and the Program Project Management Office of Concessioni Autostradali Venete, divided into an internal nucleus consisting of CAV professionals and an external working group made up of professionals from the University of Padua and from the consortium awarded Hyperbuilders (Webuid and Leonardo).

"The Hyper Transfer project - explained the president of CAV, Monica Manto - aims to create a transport system safe, zero-emission and high energy efficiency that can integrate with the infrastructures currently managed by CAV. The work, Thanks to its futuristic features, it will also be able to contribute to the revival of the local economy and the system country, reducing congestion on the motorway network. Success feasibility tests - specified Manto - allows us to to turn to the market to identify an industrial partner that supports us in the realization of a path of test, the next step in experimentation towards the realization of the work".

Referring to the project, the president of the Veneto Region, Luca Zaia, underlined that «Veneto is the cradle of this revolution. This is where it all started with the signing of the memorandum of understanding of 16 March 2022 between the Region of Veneto, Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and Concessions Autostradali Venete (CAV), in collaboration with Italferr - Gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato, University of Padua, Webuild and Leonardo. This is where the first test will now be built experimental track of about 10 kilometers between Padua and Venice, which represents a key step: from concept to verification on the field, on a 1:1 scale, of the technologies used".
