- Wheeled linear motor technology well proven – used in public passenger transportation systems for over 20 years.
- Linear motor-driven vehicles currently operate at numerous locations, including New York’s JFK Airport, Detroit, Vancouver, Toronto, and Kuala Lumpur.
- These systems all rely on linear induction or linear synchronous motors located on the vehicles. The linear motors generate magnetic forces that react against conducting plates (typically aluminum) mounted between the rails, propelling the vehicles forward.
- MagneTruck is essentially a “reverse” variant of this technology, where the linear motors are integrated into the road surface instead of the vehicles. This simplifies vehicle design and can reduce life-cycle operating costs.
