The South Korean Hyperloop project will be called the HyperTube Express, and it’s backed by the Korean Department of Technological Innovation and infrastructure. The schools involved are the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) as well as Hanyang University, which is South Korea’s leading engineering research school.
Back in January, reports suggested that South Korea was working on a Hyperloop-like high-speed rail network for the country, spearheaded by the Korea Railroad Research Institute. Said project was said to be called the Hyper Tube Express at the time, but the involvement of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, which is a multi-year partner owing to the licensing deal, wasn’t previously announced.
