from the website: Cruising speed of up to 150 km/h
I'm guessing that the value proposition of this particular system is that it's cut certain performance corners to achieve a far lower cost while still providing more than adequate speed for the intracity use case.
- bluGill 4y agoSure, but wheels work just fine at those speeds. the advantages of maglev over steel wheels need much faster speeds before they are realized. At least for all current maglev systems, this is still vaporware, ask me after it has been in use for 20 years and we have real world data on how it works out. Don't be the person who pays for getting that real world data though.
