LIMITLESS
Europe’s First Operational
Hyperloop InfrastructurE

LIMITLESS is an innovative infinite-loop testing facility, enabling rapid development and refinement of hyperloop systems. Located at the EPFL campus in Switzerland, it was unveiled in July 2021.

Built at a reduced scale, this technology platform revolutionizes global  practices for developing and testing hyperloop, unlocking endless opportunities to experiement with every aspect of the system, from air pressure, to vehicle dynamics.

UNPRECEDENT TRIALS

At LIMITLESS, pivotal experiments are underway to validate core assumptions for high-speed transportation in low-pressure environments.

The system will undergo the ultimate test during an unprecedented, record-setting period at medium speeds. The insights gained will propel hyperloop technology towards scalability and commercial viability, ushering in a new era of limitless transportation possibilities.
