The Transrapid Superspeed Maglev System is unrivaled when it comes to noise emission, energy consumption, and land use. The innovative non-contact transportation system provides mobility without the environment falling by the wayside.

In contrast to roads and railroad tracks, the elevated guideway of the Transrapid maglev system does not impede the passage of game, amphibians, and small animals. The at-grade guideway also has clearance under the guideway beam to allow small animals to pass through.
