You can say yes, because it run on electricity and it has no friction other than air resistance, but it isn't so simple. There is constant need for energy to keep train levitating so energy consumption is not lower than high speed train and if speed is low conventional high speed train may win in energy consumption. But if you compare maglev to aircraft, maglev would definitly would win.
Maglev tracks are extremly expensive, there is only one Maglev build for regular passengers, between airport and city center in Shanghai. There is doubt if it could be economical to operate and even maglevs aren´t much faster than conventional high speed trains. France TGV record is 571 km/h, but japanese Maglev record is only 581 km/h and this isn't big difference.

Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
What type of train uses magnets?
The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.
Does Italy have Maglev train?
no
What controls the levitation of the cars of a Maglev train?
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
How does balance effect the maglev train?
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
What is the weight of the maglev train?
== ==
What are the parts of a maglev train?
barney is on the train chewing chicken
How does the maglev train differ from a normal train?
The biggest difference is that a maglev train is not touching anything while it is traveling, while a normal train is sitting on steel rails at all times.
How does the property of a maglev train helps to decrese friction?
No two solids ever touch in a maglev.
Can a maglev train go as fast as a train?
It goes faster than that of a regular train.
How can you compare a maglev train and a hovercraft?
similar
