CHONGQING -- The ultrafast hyperloop transport system championed by American entrepreneur Elon Musk will come to the relatively poor interior Chinese province of Guizhou under a joint venture announced on Thursday.
California-based Hyperloop Transportation Technologies and a company under the government of the Guizhou city of Tongren will form a 50-50 partnership to build a nearly 10 km vacuum-sealed tube in which capsules can travel at the speed of sound thanks to the lack of air resistance.
