- In April 2025, Siemens Mobility successfully rolled out its advanced Railigent X cloud platform in collaboration with a prominent European railway operator. This innovative system leverages IoT sensor data to enable predictive maintenance, real-time asset tracking, and operational optimization. The implementation is designed to minimize train downtime and enhance the overall efficiency of both regional and high-speed rail networks.
- In March 2025, Alstom introduced its cutting-edge Autonomous Train Control System (ATCS) in France, capable of full driverless operation at Grade of Automation Level 4 (GoA4). The system facilitates real-time data communication, supporting the European Union’s digital railway strategy by enhancing safety, energy efficiency, and reliability.
- In February 2025, Hitachi Rail finalized the acquisition of Thales’ Ground Transportation Systems, significantly expanding its capabilities in digital rail solutions. The integration strengthens Hitachi’s footprint in smart signaling, CBTC (Communication-Based Train Control), and traffic management systems, particularly across European and Asian markets.
- In January 2025, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. launched its upgraded 5G Railway Network Solution during the Asia Rail Conference in Singapore. The new system delivers ultra-low latency communication, enhancing smart ticketing, real-time video surveillance, and passenger information services—key components of next-generation urban mobility and smart city infrastructure.
