Most of NZ cars come from Japan because NZ has no car factories to make any car.

Japan ship our cars over the sea in big container

New Zealand gets the second hand Japanese cars because they are cheaper (Ex) Toyota New Zealand $6,000 2nd hand cars shipped over from Japan cost $4,000 so that’s why we get the 2nd hand cars from Japan.

Japan own car factories such as Nissan and Toyota

Cars from Japan have been driven less (low kms) so that they last longer in NZ

The Maglev (magnetic levitation) train uses magnets to drive vehicles rather than using mechanical methods, such as wheels and axles. With maglev a vehicle is lifted a short distance away from a guide way using magnets to create both lift and thrust. Maglev vehicles are made to move more smoothly and quietly and to require less care than wheeled transport. It is said that non-reliance on friction also means that its acceleration and deceleration is way better than that of existing forms of transport. The power needed for levitation is not a lot of the overall energy use; most of the power is for air resistance, as with any other high-speed form of transport. The first Maglev train was made in New york, United states, 1968 the second one in Hamburg, Germany 1979

The third one was made in Birmingham, United Kingdom 1984–1995 Lots of good conditions existed when the link was built such as: The British Rail Research vehicle was 3 tonnes and extension to the 8 tonne vehicle was easy.Electrical power was easily available.The airport and rail buildings were suitable for terminal platforms.Only one crossing over a public road was required and no steep gradients were involved.Land was owned by the railway or airport.Local industries and councils were supportive.Some government finance was provided and because of sharing work, the cost per organization was low. This rail way no longer exists
