The factory covers an area of ​​9755 square meters and it is close to the Hyperloop One's previous test track location. The company stated that the main task of this factory's engineers, mechanical experts and welders is to manufacture and test the components of DevLoop. According to the plan, the prototype of DevLoop should be completed in 2017. There will also be a laboratory here to test systems operating near sound speed.

Josh Giegel, co-founder and engineering director of Hyperloop One, said: "The company's internal construction of a world-class machinery factory gives us the advantage of developing products in a fast and real-time manner."

Hyperloop One is known to the general public for its cool, ultra-high-speed vacuum pipeline project. This is a vision of future traffic proposed by Tesla founder Elon Musk in 2008 : the closed cabin from a vacuum pipe Launched in the middle to achieve supersonic advance. There are a number of technology companies currently implementing Musk's plans. The Hyperloop One is one of them.

The company is currently working on a super high-speed rail project linking Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It is reported that the project is expected to cost 19 billion euros (about 140 billion yuan), which took 12 years to complete. At that time, the journey from Stockholm to Helsinki will be reduced from the current 3.5-hour flight or a full-night ferry to the 28-minute super high-speed rail.

But earlier this month, company executives were exposed to infighting. The co-founder and CTO, Brogan Bam Brogan, suddenly left the company and sued the former owner Hyperloop One to the court, claiming that the company had illegally laid off, engaged in nepotism, and accused the company executives of harassing him. Currently, Hyperloop One has conducted a counter- lawsuit against Bam Brogan, saying that it was trying to set up a new company to compete with Hyperloop One, which violated the lure prohibition, derogation prohibition and confidentiality agreement.
