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.

The contract for the production of up to 370 new railway coaches was awarded to Škoda together with Titagarh Firema.

The supervisory board of the local transport company Kasseler Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (KVG) has signed an order for 22 new 30-metre two-way trams from the workshops of the Škoda Group with an option to purchase another 18 trams.

This is the first-ever delivery for Škoda to Australia. Between next year and November 2028, 400 traction motors for 100 trams will be delivered to Melbourne.

Škoda Group has been awarded a contract to deliver eight metro trains to the Bulgarian capital Sofia.
