“Growing cities need to shift from private transport to local rail transport. Because only in our opinion can this be the most environmentally friendly and fast Mobility in the cities ". Stefan Bogl, CEO of Max Bögl.
The Max Bögl group of companies is one of the largest construction, technology and service companies dealing primarily with mobilization, renewable energies, housing, building construction and infrastructure. In the field of mobility, her own “Transport system Bögl“(Abbreviated TSB) developed to meet the requirements of climate protection and the turnaround in traffic. It is based on magnetic levitation technology.
Magnetic levitation technology was first developed in Germany in the 90s - at that time the government was still far from using the new technology in public transport. In 2006 the "Transrapid 08" had its first trial run in Germany. There was the serious transrapid accident in Lathen, in which 23 people were killed and many more injured. The first attempts at the new technology have since been stopped. Nevertheless, many are convinced that the maglev train remains a future technology.
Advantages of TSB magnetic levitation technology:
- Minimal implementation time of two years in which the Transport System Bögl will be economically integrated into existing traffic infrastructure.
- Sustainable: the vehicle is low in emissions thanks to the sustainable electric drive. It saves energy and is environmentally friendly by avoiding interference with nature, since existing road corridors are used. Even the floor covering is made of non-slip natural rubber.
- Reliable: thanks to redundant systems, it is punctual and weather-independent regardless of the fault - even in snow and ice.
- Quiet: thanks to the vibration-free, contactless driving style, the vehicle drives silently through the city - and that at 150km / h.
- Space saving: through ground-level, flexible routing.
- Flexibility: in the transport capacity, since two to six sections are possible. It is a driverless, autonomous system that can be used adaptively and at very short intervals at peak times.
- comfortable: through standing islands, low-noise and powerful air conditioning and seats.
The future-oriented magnetic levitation technology is already popular in China. Climate protection is a topic that is widely discussed in Germany: people are demanding sustainability, new technologies and change. The technologies already exist - but is Germany ready for magnetic levitation technology? And if so, when?

With a small core team, the Transport System Bögl project started in 2010 in the Max Bögl Group in the Upper Palatinate. Disappointed by the abrupt end of the magnetic levitation project at Munich Airport, Max Bögl decided to take the subject of magnetic levitation into his own hands and develop a new system for local public transport.

CONTRIBUTION TO OPTION GERMANY
Why is this terrible music preventing you from seeing / hearing HOW quiet the TSB is? In my opinion, this is more than counterproductive!
The representation of the Transrapid is also not correct. Details can be found in:
In the puppet theater - free travel, but not for the Transrapid

Hello Ms. Steinmetz,
thank you for your comment.
The music in the video was the choice of Max Bögl, I had chosen it to visualize the TSB. But I agree with you, the choice of music is not the most appropriate. Here is a link in which no music can be heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31cAZ7kfFfQ
Otherwise, the article should not be about the Transrapid, as it was only mentioned as an example of a previous technology - hence the little information that, of course, does not reflect the entire history of the Transrapid. But if the information about the Transrapid should be wrong, please let me know, I will correct it.
Best regards,
Nina
