The concept of the maglev train, which uses magnetic levitation for propulsion and suspension, has roots that date back to the early 20th century. Notably, in the 1970s, significant developments were made by engineers in Japan and Germany, leading to the first operational maglev trains. The first commercial maglev system, the Matsushita-Maglev, was inaugurated in Japan in 1984. Various countries have since developed their own maglev technologies, but there isn't a single creator; rather, it has been a collaborative effort across multiple nations and inventors.

When were maglev trains first being used?

MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.
