so we’re here tonight to talk about

tomorrow’s transport

hyper louf and how with a minimum

of industrial policy ambition and

financial we can put limoges to 35

minutes from paris to 2025 horizon 2030

so wait, we’re not in the process of

talk about the latest science novel

fiction

we are talking about a break

currently in the process of

happen

or should I and major change

in the future of our habits of

moving when I say it’s a

concept that do not date from today

the first principle had been decided

or started to be studied during

first lines of the new york subway

so we’re talking about a concept that has more than

100 years is clearly something

who is not new and something

which is our handy

today I took the train for

come to limoges a few days ago

it took me four hours

so I said to myself we’re going too much

bumps and we did work a little

little unfortunately the network

phone was not exceptional

paris sia work today i have the

luck finally I have luck yes since

a few months I’m from

brittany and we have a line to great

speed for about the same distance

that paris limoges

so we do it by irene in one hour and

half how today you can

agree to have limoges at four o’clock

from Paris

we are beyond the opening up of

territories

we are in France’s involvement in

through limoges in the development

technology of tomorrow’s transport

we are in limoges involvement at

European level at the global level in

collaboration with canada and italy

we have an incredible chance

tomorrow to be able to write the future and I

will explain it to you in a few

moments it’s very very very simple

so before you start and go

in the details we would have done we have

do a little exercise with the team and

it was calculated that it could be

the economic impact for the region if

tomorrow we were able to move

in 35 minutes from limoges to paris

today we will do a little bit of

matches so I know it’s the end of

the evening but followed it is not very

complicated but you are I hope that

everyone to understand

so today we have twenty thousand

day vehicles that make the trip between

limoges and paris

if tomorrow we are able to do the

same trip in 30 minutes

it saves us a lot of time

three hours on the total duration of the

trip with a gain of 3 hours

multiply so bring back to the total number

of vehicles you follow

three hours of gains twenty thousand

vehicles

that makes us twice 3 6 60 me their

potential to win by day what is

neither more nor less than 7 years old by

enghien day then after i’m going to be

honest with you everyone is not going

not take hyper look of the day at

next day so the 7th calculation we start on

the assumption that 100% of travelers

tomorrow will be traveling with that but even if

we only take twenty percent

traffic that exists today on

the a20 brings us back to a year and a half

potentially productive hours for

the region so you’ll understand

to go fast anyway

advantage

so now how does it work when

I tell you that we are not on the

science fiction it’s basically

because we reuse technologies

existing ones that arrive either from

aeronautics is either rail or

of space the infrastructure of our

side we want the most basic possible

in tale and on metal tubes of

4 meters in diameter today

are very well known or it’s something

Products produced by the industry

wind turbine on concrete poles where that

can also be buried or

semi-buried according to the

geography the line you’ll understand

if we have to cross the Alps we will not

have fun doing something on poles

will have to dig these tubes

are connected to vacuum pumps these

vacuum pumps

today these are Germans who

are market leaders

they are available they are on

catalog you can buy them tomorrow

we connect his tubes with pumps to

empty

thanks to these vacuum pumps you reduce

the pressure has up to 90% inside

of the tube so you’re pretty much in

high atmosphere it’s like you

wanted to 50 km altitude and thanks to that

you free frictions

aerodynamic and you can reach

speeds that are similar or

superior to that of the plane so we

is on an infrastructure that we want

the most basic possible to be able to

maximize the economic relevance of the

system and have a cost per kilometer

which is less than that of a line to

great speed

so now the vehicles so we have

capsules that are 25 m long 1 which

travel 80 seconds apart

so I see here the reaction

twenty seconds apart but the guy

is completely sick today the

sncf works on autonomous gt with

intervals at 100 seconds between

two between two between two trains to

the horizon 2023

so when we talk about 80 seconds between

two friends or two capsules

we are clearly on the same order of

size then when we talk about

reuse existing techno

the fuselage or capsule is identical

or almost identical a fuselage

of plane we are with cabins

pressurized like in airplanes and the

everything works at the level of the

levitation and propulsion with

electro magnetic systems that are

today known or similar as the

line that we have

there is only one today in the

world between shanghai airport and the

downtown shanghai

so we reuse all that and integrate

and that’s the challenge today industrial

it’s all these technologies

together we also bring a care

particular to the passenger experience of

the train station to have guy concepts

which is nice with areas

boarding similar to what we have

in planes

what we are going to have unfortunately and

I hope we can reduce these times

of the Army’s security times for

control everyone we will have

ticketing and the goal is to

able to offer travelers

the subway frequency with the speed of

the plane

that is, you do not need to

book your ticket three weeks

before under three months in advance for

go make your way

at the other end of europe you point

at the station you take your ticket from

Metro

you take your ticket com your

subway ticket you embark and 35

minutes after you are in Paris

so it’s really a revolution and we

is not sure to have a maximum of

capacity at any price but rather a

maximum of frequencies to be able to

make life easier for tomorrow’s users

then on the inside I co-founded the

company with a brilliant executive of

the university of toronto called

ryan johansen and this gentleman that

besides bryant has a huge quality

he’s sick in transport he’s

sick in transport and I can

make sure he attaches a

special importance to comfort

passengers in the complete design of the

system

so we are with a new mode of

transport which is meant to be easier to

use more on what is protected

by the tube of climate hazards less

expensive and respect the environment

we are 100% electric on it

so we’re going to dream a little bit and we’re going

to project in 2050 and we are going

to imagine

the typical fabien day so fabien

he fired Thursday yeah what’s that

day today is olive tree who

ask him for dib listening must

I go to see the Catalans in Barcelona

because in 2050 so Catalonia and

independent

and then after yes and then I have them

Russian people who stuck me an appointment at

moscow so we are in the process of

to map it is as if you had

the metro map Parisian scale

from europe and then after your appointment

you in moscow what are you doing yes

I have to go back to london etc

and then we’ll try to go back I have a

thing in paris i’ll see if i can there

to attend but I’m not sure so

today we have a unique opportunity

to develop the means of transport of

tomorrow with existing technologies

we have this opportunity

how would I say to integrate a level

collaboration between two parties

world

I repeat it between Canada and Europe

so we give the means of our

ambitions and tomorrow we will be able

to go see a match of the csp in Paris is

returned home the same evening on this

thank you

[Applause]
