XP-2
Our second transport
vehicle.
Safety & Technology
You won’t need a space suit to go in our vacuum. Virgin Hyperloop is developing the necessary subsystems required to ensure traveling with hyperloop is as safe as riding an elevator. Independently validated by an Independent Safety Assessor, Certifer, our XP-2 vehicle and the DevLoop infrastructure demonstrate many of the safety-critical systems that will be found on a commercial hyperloop system, and are equipped with a state-of-the-art control system that can detect off-nominal states and rapidly trigger appropriate emergency responses.
Speed
Reaches upto a speed of 1000 km/h.That is 3x faster than high-speed rail and more than 10x faster than traditional rail.
Rapid Tube Repressurization
Using distributed venting valves along the tube’s length, we can safely re-pressurize faster than an airplane can descend.
Automated Fire Suppression
Along with redundant smoke detectors, the vehicle has most onboard electronic systems enclosed with automated fire suppression.
AirLock
Our system uses airlocks to gradually and safely bring the vehicle in and out of the near-vacuum environment without needing to repressurize the entire system.
Emergency Egress
Our DevLoop tube contains emergency egresses every 75m in the event passengers need to exit the vehicle.
Air Scrubbing & Filtering
Air-conditioned and scrubbed of CO2 and airborne contaminants, the air inside the vehicle is crisp, clean, and continuously monitored by the Pod Safety Controller.
