Future of transportation: concepts that will certainly emerge

The future of transportation isn’t just about the cars of the future. Indeed, it could also impact other modes of transport (rail, air, and sea). Within the next ten years, significant changes are expected. Beyond ultra-connectivity and improved comfort, the future of transportation will also focus on increasingly autonomous, fast, and environmentally friendly vehicles and equipment.

Road and urban transportation of the future

Drone taxis Drone taxis are futuristic vehicles

that will soon be put into operation. They will primarily be deployed first in the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Besides passenger transport, this concept could also revolutionize freight transport, particularly the home delivery market.

Autonomous cars

Currently, most electric car manufacturers already have a fully developed vehicle. Indeed, at Google, General Motors, Tesla, and others, the tests have all been successful. What remains to be determined is the traffic code relating to these types of vehicles.

The Skytran

The Skytran is an urban transport system that will surely revolutionize our daily lives. Based on magnetic levitation, this new type of tram can reach a phenomenal speed of 250 km/h. Moreover, its implementation is very inexpensive, costing 100 times less than opening a metro line.

The Rail Transport Systems of Tomorrow

The SpaceTrain

Conceived by a French startup, the SpaceTrain is the main competitor of the Hyperloop. Thanks to its top speed of up to 700 km/h, it could easily travel between Paris and Orléans in just 13 minutes. However, it still has one small drawback: its range cannot yet exceed 600 km.

The Hyperloop

This concept dates back to 2013. Initiated by Tesla founder Elon Musk, this train of the future would be capable of speeds exceeding 1,000 km/h. Compared to that, a trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco would take at most 30 minutes.

New concepts in air and sea transport

The Clip-Air

What makes the Clip-Air unique is that it’s a modular aircraft capable of transporting an incredible number of passengers. Also multimodal, each capsule could be converted into a train.
