International Maglev Board

The International Maglev Board (IMB) is an organization that promotes the development and adoption of magnetic levitation (maglev) technology for transportation. Maglev trains use powerful magnets to lift and propel vehicles above tracks, reducing friction and allowing for very high speeds. The board facilitates collaboration among countries, researchers, and industry leaders, sharing best practices and standards to enhance safety and efficiency. By focusing on innovative transport solutions, the IMB aims to improve travel, decrease environmental impact, and advance engineering in the field of rapid transit systems.
