Imagine adding a magnetic 'booster' to existing train tracks so that some trains can float and glide at incredible speeds while regular trains still use the same rails. It is like adding a fast lane to a road without having to build a whole new highway. This allows trains to move much faster and smoother without needing to replace the entire rail network.
Railways struggle to compete with air and road transport due to speed limits and the massive cost of building new high-speed infrastructure. Current networks cannot easily transition to next-generation speeds without replacing entire track systems.
A system of linear motor propulsion (MagRail Booster) and levitation beams, along with adapted vehicle bogies and a signaling control system.
If you are a railway operator dealing with outdated infrastructure and slow transit times — this project developed magnetic levitation beams and linear motors that increase speeds from 160 kph up to 330 kph. This allows you to modernize without replacing all existing tracks.
If you are a logistics company dealing with slow rail freight and high carbon emissions — this project developed a system that increases capacity and flexibility of lines. It enables a shift from road and sea to rail by boosting high-speed line speeds up to 550 kph.
If you are a vehicle manufacturer dealing with the need for zero-emission high-speed transport — this project developed adapted bogies and vehicle components for magnetic levitation. This allows you to build trains that are compatible with both conventional and magnetic tracks.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the system is designed to avoid large-scale infrastructural investments by retrofitting existing lines.
Yes, the project focuses on upgrading conventional railway lines and high-speed lines to increase capacity and flexibility for passengers and goods.
Based on available project data, the technology is developed by NEVOMO POLAND SPOLKA Z OGRANICZONA ODPOWIEDZIALNOSCIA, though specific licensing terms are not listed.
The system uses an interoperability concept where magnetic and conventional trains share the same tracks via added infrastructure components and adapted bogies.
The project period runs from 2022-12-01 to 2025-10-31, indicating the development and testing phase is currently active.
The project is led by a single Polish SME, NEVOMO POLAND, with a 100% industry ratio. This indicates a highly commercial-driven approach with a lean structure, focusing on direct industrial application rather than academic research.
