Europe is once again exploring the concept of maglev, this time with its integration into railway infrastructure, as reported by the railway portal Railway Supply.
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.
