In response to uneven development of a high-speed rail network across the Union and the need to further develop European connectivity, including through multimodal mobility network and its alignment with the TEN-T, the TRAN Committee decided to hold a public hearing on rail and Hyperloop. The purpose of the hearing is to assess possibilities for further development of the existing rail network and potential implications of Hyperloop and/or other emerging transport technologies for European transport infrastructure.
