Polish startup Nevomo successfully conducted tests of a trolley on a passive magnetic cushion, reaching speeds of 135 km/h on a 720-meter test track near the town of Nova-Sazhina.

Simultaneously, a large-scale research project called MaDe4Rail was launched, funded by the European Commission and aimed at exploring the feasibility of creating high-speed maglev systems in Europe.

Nevomo also plans to commercialize this technology, initially focusing on freight transportation, and is already collaborating with the leasing company GATX.
