Two employees covered 500 meters in about 15 seconds. The hover train reached a top speed of 172 kilometers per hour. That is a fraction of the dreamed-for speed of the new transportation system: about 1,000 kilometers per hour.<\/p>\n<p>The hyperloop, a system that allows people and goods to be transported at speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour in compact <em>pods<\/em> through an overhead or underground vacuum tube, has been in development for years. In 2018, we wrote a (still relevant) blog about how Internet of Logistics, including the Hyperloop, is going to change the world of transportation and logistics. In eight to 10 years, underground transportation will be a logistical reality. And Virgin is another step closer to that with this development&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>But as a company, how are you ready for Internet of Logistics and the Hyperloop?
