The first Czech single-deck electric unit RegioPanter, equipped with traction batteries, was presented at the Rail Business Days trade fair, attended by Minister Martin Kupka, Czech Railways, Moravian-Silesian Region, and Škoda Group.

The partnership between Škoda Group and RegioJet, the largest private railway carrier in Central Europe, brings forth the delivery of 23 new electric units, valued at approximately EUR 133 million. 15 trains will have two cars and 8 trains will consist of three cars.

The vehicles are tailor-made for three German cities with different needs and environments - Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg an der Havel and Cottbus.

The capital of the Czech Republic can look forward to up to 200 modern, 100% low-floor Škoda ForCity Plus Praha 52T trams.

The first electric Škoda 16Ev units of the Latvian national carrier Vienā vilcienā (VIVI) have just gone into service with passengers in Riga. It happened at Riga Central Station at 10.58 local time in the presence of the Minister of Transport Kaspars Briškens. The delivery of the last train unit will take place in mid-2024.

This collaboration is centred around system integration engineering and authorization services to introduce the European Train Control System (ETCS) to 15 of Speno's yellow fleet vehicles.

Škoda Group has formed a strategic partnership with Speno International, experts in railway track and turnout reprofiling solutions. This collaboration is centred around system integration engineering and authorization services to introduce the European Train Control System (ETCS) to 15 of Speno's yellow fleet vehicles. With this new contract Škoda is expanding to Switzerland as a new country for the group.

The obsolete KT8 types from the turn of the 80s and 90s will be replaced by 15 ForCity Smart 45T trams.

The agreement represents the largest contract ever awarded to a Czech company in Uzbekistan.

Strengthening its position on foreign markets and expanding its presence outside Europe - this is one of the goals of the Škoda Group's business strategy.
