Transport System Bögl
The Transport System Bögl (TSB) is a maglev system consisting of a track, vehicles and driverless operations control technology that has been developed by the Max Bögl Group since 2010 . It is designed for local passenger traffic with distances of up to around 30 kilometers and a speed of 150 km / h. Max Bögl has been testing the system with an 820-meter-long in-house track at the company's headquarters in Sengenthal since 2012 . By 2018, more than 100,000 journeys over 65,000 kilometers were made on it.

Cooperation with company Xinzhu for the Chinese market
In the spring of 2018, the Max Bögl Group signed a cooperation agreement with the Chinese company Chengdu Xinzhu Road & Bridge Machinery Co. Ltd. completed. This provides for the construction of a 3.5-kilometer test track in Chengdu , the capital of the Sichuan province , in order to allow the maglev system in China. The Xinzhu company exclusively secured the marketing and production of the system in China.
In June 2020, the first TSB series vehicle was shipped from Sengenthal to Chengdu for the commissioning of the demonstration route. The two-section production vehicle was initially transported by truck from Sengenthal to Munich Airport . The transport to the destination then took place with an Antonov 124-100 . In the summer of 2020, the new public transport system in Chengdu will start operating.
