TransPod, the Canadian company developing the world’s leading ultra-high-speed ground transportation through its TransPod Line infrastructure system and FluxJet vehicle, announced a strategic collaboration with Algoma Steel and Supreme Steel to advance the Edmonton–Calgary Tube Transportation Project Test Track. The project has been designated by the Government of Alberta as one of the province’s Major Projects — large-scale infrastructure developments expected to create jobs, attract investment, and strengthen long-term competitiveness.
The FluxJet is TransPod’s all-electric vehicle designed to travel at more than 1,000 km/h on the TransPod Line, a network system with stations in major cities and high-frequency departures to make travel fast, affordable, and safe. This strategic collaboration with Algoma Steel and Supreme Steel secures the materials and manufacturing capacity required to transform how Canadian businesses, workers, and communities move and collaborate.
With Algoma’s ongoing transformation to electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, the company will be positioned to supply low-carbon intensity steel for the project. This strengthens the sustainability profile of the TransPod development, aligning the project with Canada’s climate objectives and further enhancing its appeal as a next-generation transportation system that combines innovation with responsible, low-emission supply chains.
