Maglev trains, short for “magnetic levitation trains”, are a form of transportation that relies on the power of magnets to move forward at high speeds. This advanced technology has revolutionized the world of transportation, offering a faster, more efficient, and overall more eco-friendly option for travelers. The concept of maglev trains originated in Germany in the mid-1930s, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that the first operational maglev train was developed in Japan.
