Success for Team Tachyon e.V. at the European Hyperloop Week

The student initiative Tachyon Hyperloop achieved outstanding success at this year’s European Hyperloop Week. The team won the prestigious awards for Best Mechanical Subsystem and Best Electrical Subsystem. After a year of intensive work, characterized by dedication, tireless effort and countless hours in which the team literally shed blood, sweat and tears, this significant milestone has been reached.

Their passion for innovation and progress drove them, and the result is a working, moving prototype that was a huge hit at European Hyperloop Week. “This success is the result of the incredible commitment and cooperation of our entire team,” says Jacob Diercks, first chairman of the association. “Every single team member has made an indispensable contribution and together we have achieved great things.” The prototype called FERMION can reach a top speed of up to 120 km/h and, in addition to an innovative drive train, is equipped with a highly safe braking system. The electric vehicle on the rails is completely remote-controlled and catches the eye of every observer thanks to its futuristic shell.

Special thanks go to the team from Zurich Swissloop, who made their test track available to the team from Aachen, as well as the organizers of the European Hyperloop Week for a fair and excellently organized competition. The team would like to thank the jury for their thorough evaluation and recognition of the work. You would also like to thank your numerous and well-known sponsors, supporters, friends and families who have always believed in you and your project. A big thank you also goes to the universities, RWTH Aachen and FH Aachen, as well as the associated institutes, who have continuously supported and supported them
