Vision becomes reality

The official construction of the European Hyperloop Center has started, but let's not forget that 10 years ago the hyperloop was just sketches on paper, conceived by Elon Musk. Now, a decade later, those visions have become reality. And that by a startup from Delft!

After a thorough bidding process, Power Battery was selected Harden Hyperloop chosen to supply the battery packs. These beautiful and powerful packs are integrated into this revolutionary project.

In close collaboration with the Hardt Hyperloop team, we developed the optimal battery solution. The weekly project communication was a crucial factor in this. Following the '𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭' principle, we managed to deliver the project within budget and with minimal delay.

The Hardt Hyerloop team explains the collaboration: “We are very proud of our partnership and the fact that we are working together to make sure that we are doing our best.” 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 ...

The hyperloop vehicles are powered by an onboard battery. What makes this so impressive is the use of contactless charging using Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) technology, even at high speeds. 

And that’s not all! Regenerative braking ensures that energy is recovered and used to charge the battery. This smart system reduces energy loss, reduces the required battery capacity and ensures that the vehicles are always ready for action. 

As Power Battery we are extremely proud to be part of this revolutionary journey!
