With the integration of Thales’ land transport, Hitachi Rail in Spain strengthens its product and service portfolio to offer the rail sector new advanced solutions to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility, combining its global expertise with a strong local presence. These capabilities range from rolling stock, track signalling and train control solutions, rail transport control and monitoring to services and digitalisation.

The current context of the Spanish market offers great opportunities for the company, as “the railway wants to modernise” and, moreover, administrations have made a great commitment to this mode of transport. In this sense, the current railway investment plan for the period 2024-2028, which amounts to 24.2 billion Euros, stands out. Likewise, there are new prospects due to the increase of the Spanish railway network’s operative capacity following the liberalisation of passenger transport; the recovery of occupancy levels in the main and urban lines after the pandemic; or the contribution of the Next Generation funds, which have allocated 8 billion Euros to the railway. In addition to all this, there is the announced investment in freight transport, 8 billion during the period 2022-2030. For this reason, they have opted to grow in Spain.
