dc.description.abstractThe transportation industry has experience little disruptive technologies since the introduction of airplane, over 100 years ago. Nevertheless, the sector is of extreme importance in connecting people and businesses together. Hyperloop technology brings the promise of a new, faster and cleaner mode of transport that could disrupt current transportation modes. To understand the potential effects of the disruptive technology, the author analyses the current long-range freight and personal transportation industry, the modes and its characteristics and the competition between them. Hyperloop has more potential to affect the personal segment, and particularly airlines. On the freight side, the impact will be confined to the road and air modes of transport, and its degree will be lower. Once the technology is fully operational, airlines should focus on intercontinental routes where air transportation is the only mode available. LCC, relying solely on continental routes, will have difficulties in making the transition and many will leave the market. FSA and LCC will engage in M&A for operational efficiency and enlargement of hub-and-spoke networks. Air freight carriers rely mostly in intercontinental routes and should not experience a business model change. Road transportation is increasingly focusing on the “last-mile” of transportation services and may benefit from decongestion of roads caused by a shift to Hyperloop in the long-range freight transportation in Europe. Environmental impact of mode shift is considerable and is mostly caused by a shift in domestic and continental routes from air to Hyperloop transportation.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractO setor de transporte tem experienciado poucas tecnologias disruptivas desde a introdução do avião, há mais de 100 anos. Contudo, o setor é muito importante para conectar pessoas e empresas. O Hyperloop traz a promessa de um novo modo de transporte mais rápido e limpo que pode perturbar os modos de transporte atuais. Para entender os seus efeitos potenciais, a atual indústria de transporte pessoal e mercadorias de longo alcance, os modos, suas características e concorrência entre elas é analisada. O Hyperloop tem mais potencial para afetar o segmento de passageiros, principalmente as companhias aéreas. No lado das mercadorias, o impacto será limitado aos modos de transporte rodoviário e aéreo, e o grau será menor. Quando a tecnologia estiver operacional, as companhias aéreas concentrar-se-ão em rotas intercontinentais nas quais o transporte aéreo é monopolista. As LCC, operando apenas rotas continentais, terão dificuldades em fazer a transição e algumas deixarão o mercado. As FSA e as LCC envolver-se-ão em fusões e aquisições para eficiência operacional e ampliação de redes hub-and-spoke. As transportadoras aéreas de mercadorias dependem principalmente de rotas intercontinentais e não devem sofrer alterações no modelo de negócios. O transporte rodoviário concentra-se cada vez mais na “última milha” do transporte e pode beneficiar do descongestionamento de estradas causada pela mudança no transporte de mercadorias de longo alcance na Europa para Hyperloop. O impacto ambiental da mudança de modo é considerável, sendo causado principalmente por uma mudança nas rotas domésticas e continentais do transporte aéreo de passageiros para Hyperloop.pt_PT
