Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003488

A type of train system that uses magnetic levitation to suspend, guide, and propel vehicles, eliminating friction with the track. This technology allows for extremely high speeds and a smooth ride, as there is no physical contact between the train and the guideway. Commercial maglev systems operate in countries like Japan and China.
