The Transrapid 06 is a two-unit magnetic levitation train vehicle and was built for the Transrapid test facility in Emsland (TVE). On March 13, 1983, the TR06 was presented to the public at Krauss-Maffei's Munich plant.
On May 4, 1984, the Transrapid 06 passed the 200 km/h mark for the first time at 205 km/h. On 16 August 1984 the TR 06 reached 257 km/h, on 17 October of the same year the vehicle set a new world record of 302 km/h for electromagnetic levitation vehicles occupied by persons.
At the beginning of December 1987, the Transrapid 06 hovered over the southern loop of the test facility for the first time. On the second day of operation of the completed installation, the magnetic levitation train set a new world record for passenger-operated magnetic levitation vehicles at 406 km/h. A little later, on 22 January 1988, the TR 06 reached a speed of 412. 6 km/h. In 1988 the application-oriented continuous operation was started.
The front section 1 of TR 06 has been elevated at the Deutsches Museum Bonn since 1995.
