TransPod Inc. is a Canadian company designing ultra-high-speed transportation technology and vehicles.
TransPod vehicles are being designed to travel at over between cities, using fully electric propulsion to carry passengers and cargo. The proposed system would create a faster and carbon-free alternative to jets and automobiles if it was powered with electricity from carbon-free sources. The TransPod vehicles, which TransPod calls "FluxJets", are designed to travel through a tube guideway which is similar to a hyperloop or vactrain system, with variations based on magnetic levitation rather than air bearings to promote vehicle stability, and placing the core magnetic levitation technology on the vehicle rather than the infrastructure in an effort to minimize infrastructure costs.
