The Delft Hyperloop team was named the winner of the KIVI Engineering Student Team 2025 award last week and also took home the Audience Award. The award ceremony of the Royal Society of Engineers (Kivi) took place on Wednesday 12 March at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, in the presence of Princess Beatrix, Princess Mabel, and Kivi President Jacolien Eijer-de Jong.
“We hope that the Kivi Engineering Student Team Award will give Delft Hyperloop a boost to continue their leadership in international hyperloop development,” said the jury. “Their passion for technology and sustainability is evident in their work, and they serve as an inspiring example for other students.”
The Kivi Engineering Student Team Award was established in 2022 to recognise student teams that excel in teamwork, innovation, societal impact, and technical expertise. The goal is to encourage future engineers and draw attention to their innovative projects. The other finalists were University Racing Eindhoven (TU Eindhoven) and Solar Boat Twente (University of Twente).
Founded in 2016, Delft Hyperloop has established itself as a pioneer in hyperloop development – an innovative transport system that could transform the future of mobility. This year, the team’s goal with Hyperloop 9 is to become the first student team ever to demonstrate a scaled-up hyperloop system at European Hyperloop Week (EHW), the world’s largest hyperloop competition.
