MaglevSysteme

MaglevSysteme is a German company specializing in the design and manufacturing of magnetic levitation (maglev) transportation systems. Founded in 1995, the company has been at the forefront of developing and implementing maglev technology for both urban and intercity transit. Their core technology utilizes powerful superconducting magnets to levitate and propel trains, eliminating the need for traditional wheels and tracks. This contactless system significantly reduces friction, allowing for extremely high speeds and a smoother ride.

The company's flagship product is the Transrapid, a high-speed maglev train system. MaglevSysteme has been instrumental in the development and deployment of several Transrapid projects worldwide, including the Shanghai Transrapid, which is the first commercial high-speed maglev line in operation. This system connects Shanghai Pudong International Airport with the city center, reaching speeds of up to 431 kilometers per hour. MaglevSysteme continues to research and develop advanced maglev solutions, focusing on increasing efficiency, reducing construction costs, and expanding the applicability of their technology to a wider range of transportation needs. Their commitment to innovation aims to make maglev a more accessible and sustainable mode of high-speed travel.
