Answer: repelling magnets

Step-by-step explanation:

The Maglev track allows the train to float above the track through the use of repelling magnets. ... This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust
