WHAT IS MAGLEV?
• Maglev Means MAGnetic LEVitation
• Use Of Wheels Is Replaced By Magnetic
Fields
• Maglev Vehicles Are Capable Of Much
Higher Speeds And Acceleration
• No Moving Parts - Low O&M

LONG TERM POTENTIAL
FOR MAGLEV
… A World Market
• According To Argonne National Laboratory, The US Needs
13,000 Miles Of High Speed Intercity System Within 20 Years
(a $300 Billion Market)
• FRA Has Selected 9 Routes that Are
Deemed “Financially Feasible”
($95 Billion)
• Estimates Are For 2-3 Miles Of Urban
And Regional System Every Mile
Of High-Speed System
• World-wide Market Will Be Vast!
Old Dominion University

AMT Market Space
• AMT plans to be 30% of $2 billion
market in 2008
• Advanced technology induces demand
and accelerates new projects.
• Lower cost per mile opens up new
markets.

WASHINGTON-RICHMONDHAMPTON ROADS
• The ODU Project Was Envisioned As The “Test
Case” For This Project. Phase 1 Is $1.5B.
• VA Legislature Made This Maglev Project A
“State Priority” In This Year’s Budget.
• Financial Studies Indicate That Washington To
Richmond Is Financially Feasible Now.
• High Focus On 400th Anniversary Celebration.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE COST
• The Technology Can Be Deployed For An
“All Up” Cost Of Under $20 Million Per
Kilometer
• The Technology Is Ready Now For New
Transit Deployments
• A Realistic Plan Has Been Developed To
Grow The Technology To Higher Speeds
And More Complex Operation
