SMARTRAIL ECOSYSTEM

In 2017 Škoda Transtech started discussions with different stakeholders in order to initiate a co-operative future smart tram ecosystem. The goal was to move from traditional engineering and manufacturing towards all-encompassing service and business ecosystem (Rail-as-a-Service) that is able to provide a technologically superior tram as well as digital, integrated services for its whole lifecycle. Besides the benefits to its own development, Škoda Transtech saw the ecosystem approach, combining the expertise coming from industry as well as from research and public sectors, to be a great asset in increasing the competitiveness of SmartRail ecosystem partners in national as well as in international business.
