The instrument panel clearly shows that this is a hybrid-electric car: the tachometer and temperature gauge at left and the fuel level gauge on the left quadrant of the right "dial" are for the gasoline engine, while the rest of the right "dial" consists of a charge/discharge meter and battery level gauge for the electric part of the drivetrain. The top quadrant of the right "dial" is divided into "CHRG" and "ASST," and illuminated bars appear to the left or right of the central white line when the battery is either being recharged or assisting the gasoline engine, respectively.

Drawing of the front end of urban maglev vehicle showing the vehicle’s levitation/propulsion module. Dual Halbach arrays of permanent magnets are positioned under the train car to provide the levitating force.

Magnetic levitation (maglev) is a relatively new transportation technology in which noncontacting vehicles travel safely at speeds of 250 to 300 miles-per-hour or higher while suspended, guided, and propelled above a guideway by magnetic fields. The guideway is the physical structure along which maglev vehicles are levitated. Various guideway configurations, e.g., T-shaped, U-shaped, Y-shaped, and box-beam, made of steel, concrete, or aluminum, have been proposed.

The three primary functions basic to maglev technology: (1) levitation or suspension; (2) propulsion; and (3) guidance. In most current designs, magnetic forces are used to perform all three functions, although a nonmagnetic source of propulsion could be used. No consensus exists on an optimum design to perform each of the primary functions.
