JRMaglevin

JRMaglevin is a Japanese company that specializes in the development and operation of magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. Founded in 1998, the company is a subsidiary of JR East, the largest railway operator in Japan. JRMaglevin's primary focus is on the development of high-speed maglev technology, which uses magnetic forces to levitate and propel trains, eliminating the need for wheels and reducing friction.

The company's flagship project is the Chuo Shinkansen, also known as the Central Japan Railway Line, which connects Tokyo with Nagoya. This line, which opened in 2004, is the world's first commercial maglev railway. It operates at speeds of up to 505 kilometers per hour (314 miles per hour) and has significantly reduced travel times between the two cities.

JRMaglevin's technology has also been adopted for other high-speed rail projects in Japan, including the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line, which opened in 2011. This line is used for testing and research purposes and has reached speeds of up to 603 kilometers per hour (375 miles per hour).

In addition to its maglev projects, JRMaglevin is involved in the development of other high-speed rail technologies and is committed to promoting sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. The company continues to innovate and expand its maglev systems, aiming to improve travel times and reduce environmental impact.
