British company plans Hyperloop-inspired network of tunnels that will transport millions of parcels around London in magnetic carriages travelling at 40mph by 2022
Tunnels would transport 72,000 carriages per hour each holding four parcels
Building tunnels and carriages alone will cost a massive £1.5m per mile
Company has raised £1.5 through investors including British supermarket Ocado

영국 운송회사, 하이퍼루프식 터널 운반 네트워크 2022년까지 건설 추진 한 영국 운송 회사는 런던에서만 년 6억개 이상을 보낼 수 있는 터널 화물네트워크를 설치할 예정이다. 웸블리 런던에 기반을 둔 매그웨이(Magway)는 2017년에 크루즈, 엘론 머스크의 Hyperloop 프로젝트에서 일한 엔지니어이며 비즈니스 전문가 필 데이비스와 함께 했던 루퍼트 크루즈에 의해 설립되었다. 이 터널 화물시스템은 전기충전에 의해 작동되며 시속 64km의 속도로 시간당 7만 2천 개의 객차를 수송할 수 있으며, 각각 네 개의 소포를 자기 선로를 따라 운반할 수 있다. 이것은 유통업체들이 유통과 이행 센터 사이에서 상품을 빠르고 저렴하게 이동할 수 있는 방법을 제공할 것이며, 3년 이내에 사업을 시작할 수 있을 것이다. 이 터널이 수하물과 면세품을 공항터미널와 연계 운반할 수 있도록 히드로와 협상 중에 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

A British-owned transport company is set to install a network of underground tunnels that could deliver more than 600 million packages a year in London alone.
Magway, based in Wembley, London, was founded in 2017 by Rupert Cruise, an engineer that worked on Elon Musk's Hyperloop project, and Phill Davies, business expert.
A series of tunnels would transport 72,000 carriages per hour each holding four parcels along a magnetic track,
which propels them forward at just under 40mph when activated by an electric charge.

This will give retailers a quick and cheap way to move goods between distribution and fulfilment centres, and could be up and running in as little as three years.
Magway transports goods including groceries and small parcels on carriages moving along a magnetic track. Pictured is a still from an animated video showing a carriage moving along a track
The company has so far raised £1.5 through investors including British supermarket Ocado - who may use the service in the future - and a government Innovate UK grant of £650,000.
They are also in talks with Heathrow in the hopes a series of tunnels could carry baggage and duty free goods to terminals - which would act as a trial run for the Magway system.
