Abstract
CargoTube is a new approach for cost-efficient Low-Pressure Tube Transport (LPTT) which uses established technologies and can be implemented quickly. This makes it an affordable alternative to developments such as complex conventional hyperloop systems. CargoTube is less costly to deploy and affords lower safety and infrastructure requirements. At the same time, it is complementary to and compatible with emerging hyperloop standards and technologies. The benefits of zero direct emission while still providing high-speed movement of goods with great potential for sustainably, linking urban areas, economic regions, and production facilities are obvious
