Hardt is a cleantech company in The Netherlands that created a hyperloop, which is a sealed, low-pressure tube passenger transport system. Founded 2016 in Delft, Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands by Marinus Van Der Meijs, Mars Geuze, Sascha Lamme, and Tim Houter, the company created the Hardt Hyperloop, a 10,000 kilometer hyperloop network that aims to connect all major cities in Europe with a travel time of less than two hours. The hyperloop propels capsules through large tubes by using magnets. In addition, the Hardt hyperloop is able to switch lanes, allowing pods to switch from one lane to another without any additional or moving parts. The company claims that hyperloops will not emit carbon dioxide and uses less energy than vehicles and planes. This idea was first conceptualized by a team of students at Delft University that used to design race cars before Elon Musk launched the Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2017.
