The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) in Germany has awarded a feasibility study for the use of new local transport technology in Munich to the company TransportTechnologie-Consult Karlsruhe GmbH. 

In addition to classic local transport systems such as regional trains, subways or trams, the Federal Ministry of Transport wants to test the potential of innovative applications in local transport. For this reason, the federal government has launched a feasibility study on magnetic levitation trains. In the first part of the study, in general, the potential of the technology should be studied. The second part will focus on the first specific application at Munich Airport.

CEO of Flughafen München GmbH said: "Due to the dynamic development in the various areas of Munich Airport, the traffic flows within the airport area will continue to increase in the coming years. Against this background, we want to improve mobility on campus and see the Bögl innovative transport system as an interesting approach. The investigation now underway can provide important insights and decision-making aids here."

The construction group Max Bögl from Upper Palatinate has developed own technology in recent years: significantly slower, cheaper and intended for local transport with distances of five to about 30 kilometers.
