TransPod Inc. is a Canadian company dedicated to bringing the TransPod system (a very high-speed ground transportation concept) to reality. The TransPod system has the potential to be one of the most disruptive technologies of the 21st century, similar to the impact of the steam-powered train. Currently performing route design between worldwide cities, testing will occur on a future test track to prepare for certification, manufacture and deployment. This will be the first step towards a commercially viable product by 2027. TransPod developed corporate partnerships with REC Architecture, IKOS, SADE, EDF, and Dassault Systemes. The company has attracted top engineering talent and a prominent advisory board, creating interest in Canada’s transportation and engineering community.
