Magnetic-levitation (maglev) systems were not considered as no such systems are in commercial service in the world today and the topography of the Québec-Windsor corridor does not give maglev systems a particular advantage.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transports ferroviaires spéciaux
CONT

Les systèmes à sustentation magnétique (maglev) n'ont pas été pris en considération car aucun n'est exploité commercialement dans le monde et que la topographie du couloir Québec-Windsor ne leur confère aucun avantage particulier.
