Of the six that exist all over the world, one is Spanish. Zeleros, born at the Universitat Politècnica de València, won two awards in 2016 in the first hyperloop competition sponsored by SpaceX for best concept design and best propulsion/compression subsystem.

David Pistoni is the CEO of a company that was born as a university project and today “employs 40 people full time” while carrying out various collaborations with firms from the entity of Altran or Siemens. For those who do not yet know the technology, ‘hyperloop’ aims to create a means of transport in which vehicles similar to trains or meters levitate by tubes in which virtually all the air has been removed.
