PLAYA VISTA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HyperloopTT) announced a strategic partnership with leading French transport and logistics engineering corporation Gaussin (EURONEXT GROWTH FR0010342329) for the creation and  supply of the new AIV HyperloopTT electric self-driving vehicles that will carry and transfer containers for the Hyperloop Freight System.

The AIV HyperloopTT will have the task of carrying containers from the port storage area up to the HyperloopTT freight capsule and transferring them using a lateral transfer module that has existing and proven capability in other rail-road logistics applications. Precision docking with the capsule and rapid transfer of containers directly into the capsule will allow continuous supply to the capsules, shortening station stops and thus maximizing the flexibility of the HyperloopTT solution and reducing overall cost.

"We are very happy with this partnership, which allows the integration of Gaussin solutions into an efficient, safe, and clean mobility concept that will revolutionise the transport of passengers and goods," said Christophe Gaussin, Managing Director of the Gaussin Group. "This partnership has enabled us to leverage our expertise in the field of electric driverless container transport and port activities, which is the legacy business of Gaussin."

"Gaussin will play a critical role in bringing our freight solutions to reality," said Andres de Leon, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. "The interest in bringing Hyperloop to the world's overcrowded ports and freight systems is very high. Because of the system's speed, efficiency, economic benefits, and low carbon footprint, Hyperloop is on its way to becoming the new standard in transport solutions for the 21st century. With a global industry leader like Gaussin a major puzzle piece for Hyperloop freight systems has been solved."
