A formal contract has been established between Deendayal Port and the startup TuTr Hyperloop to deploy magnetic-levitation (maglev) technology for freight transport within the port. This agreement focuses on using maglev for intra-port logistics.
Key Details of the Agreement:
- Development of Technology: TuTr Hyperloop will first create an asynchronous linear motor.
- Testing: Rolling stock (maglev vehicles) will undergo testing on a dedicated trial line.
- Commissioning: Following successful testing, a full-scale maglev freight line will be established at the port.
Background & Collaborations:
TuTr Hyperloop has been involved in other projects, including:
# Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jawaharlal Nehru Port and Vadhvan Port to explore the potential of hyperloop technologies for high-speed freight transport.
# Partnership with BEML: The company has also signed an MoU with BEML to develop and test a full-scale hyperloop system prototype, aiming for mass deployment.
Previous Developments:
In July, Deendayal Port had also shown interest in maglev systems, signing an MoU with Polish startup Nevomo and UAE’s DP World for a pilot project. This initiative, based on Nevomo’s MagRail technology, also explores automated rail freight solutions for ports.
The deployment of maglev technology at Deendayal Port could mark a significant step in modernizing freight operations with futuristic technologies.
