LEVX ADVANTAGES

The magnetic suspension system utilized in LEVX provides the key to overall system efficiency resulting in lowered operating costs as well as reduced maintenance.  The magnetic suspension eliminates static drag associated with weight bearing wheels, and by doing so, removes the physical limiting factor of adhesion from the primary propulsion and braking system.  LEVX creates no magnetic drag and achieves stable levitation at very wide air gaps, which provides for smooth, vibration free transport.  The testing of several generations of full-scale LEVX prototypes has established a new standard for transportation efficiency and simplicity and an economic viability thought previously unattainable.
