The Fnm board of directors has sent a mandate to the president Andrea Gibelli to "sign a letter of intent with Hyperloop Italia to involve all that involves innovation to make our region's system in the field of mobility and to make a feasibility study on Cadorna-Malpensa ".
The president himself said this in a press conference at the Group's headquarters in Piazzale Cadorna in Milan. According to Gibelli it is "a colossal work for its complexity that allows us to put our heart beyond the obstacle".
The feasibility study between Fnm and Hyperloop lasts "6 months", specified Bibop Gresta, founder and CEO of Hyperloop Italia, explaining that the estimated cost for Hyperloop's infrastructure varies from 20 to 40 million dollars per Km.
"Italy - he adds - could be the first network in the world with Hyperloop technology". "We have a prototype in Toulouse - he explained - 32 meters long, 90% made of carbon fiber". "We are in the final testing and assembly phase and we are certifying it with the EU". In the Toulouse Research Center there is a 320-meter-long pipe for testing the vehicle.
