Rolling Stock Manufacturer

Škoda Group, a Czech manufacturer of vehicles for public transport, has a portfolio of modern vehicles that meet the latest European standards. Every year, the company launches new products that successfully find their place on the world markets. Škoda Group provides complex solutions for transport in cities and beyond, and is constantly working to make travelling comfortable, fast, environmentally friendly, and safe.

Trains for Commuter and Regional Transport

Reliability, variability, and environmental friendliness – these are the trains from Škoda Group. When producing trains for regional lines, several requirements have to be satisfied, all of which differ from region to region. Each vehicle is therefore unique and fully adapted to the environment in which it operates.

Trains for Intercity and Long-Distance Transport

High passenger comfort is key when travelling over long distances. InterPanter electric units offer comfort and reliability and are the optimal solution for connecting large cities. Their variability allows the size of the train to be adapted to the needs of a particular line.

Universal and Express Locomotives

The century-long tradition of locomotive production at Škoda Group makes them machines proven by experience. They are capable of interoperability throughout Europe and are environmentally friendly.

On-Board Systems for Complex Train Operation

The Škoda Group equips trains with everything they need for a safe and seamless journey. TCMS, autonomous control systems, diagnostic systems, the onboard communication infrastructure and multimedia systems provide a complex ecosystem of interconnected elements.

Modernization of Rail Transport

An effective way of dealing with the renewal of the rolling stock is the modernization of suitable types of older vehicles, which brings especially financial savings. Škoda Group has many years of experience in modernization, which makes the operation more efficient and provides passengers with quality that meets the current requirements for modern transport.

City Transport – Trams and Metro

Years of proven production of vehicles for urban transport make Škoda Group a trusted partner for public transport companies. A wide product portfolio offers solutions for every climate and terrain. In addition, an individual approach to each customer ensures that the vehicles are fully adapted to the conditions of each specific city.

Modernization of Urban Transport

The modernization of vehicles for urban transport provides operators with improved economics of operation and maintenance of the vehicles, longer service life, easier availability of retrofitted components and increased comfort and safety of transport. And, of course, it contributes to reducing negative environmental impacts.
