- Max Bögl has developed a next-generation maglev system designed for short-distance urban transit up to 50 kilometers at moderate speeds.
- The Baden-Württemberg transport ministry initiated the project in 2023 to connect the Black Forest valley region with Stuttgart’s metropolitan area.
- The technology promises low environmental impact and cost savings by efficiently handling steep inclines with an estimated 300 million euro construction cost.
- Local officials remain hesitant due to the technology’s unproven commercial operation and the need for passengers to transfer at Herrenberg station.
In Germany, we have largely wasted this technology so far.— Professor Dr. Johannes Klühspies, who teaches at TH Deggendorf in Bavaria, comments on the magnetic levitation technology.

- Transport Senator Ute Bonde supports deploying a maglev train linking Berlin with BER airport, highlighting its lower costs and quieter operation compared to trams.
- A planning task force for route determination currently remains inactive, though federal support for maglev technology has been indicated by Transport Minister Schnieder.
- Bonde calls for technology-neutral transportation planning, citing comparative studies from Nuremberg that demonstrate maglev’s competitive potential against trams.
- A pilot project for autonomous vehicles is set for 2026 in Berlin, featuring shared usage models and addressing staff shortages in public transit.
Germany is a nation that is technology-friendly and has advanced technological innovation. It is also about the economic location of Germany. Why should Berlin invest heavily in a nearly 150-year-old mode of transport like the tram when there is a technology that is not more expensive but could unfold future potentials that could be effective for our country worldwide?— Ute Bonde, Transportation Senator, in a conversation with the Berliner Zeitung.
