GLOBAL, April 2026 – The collaboration combines Hitachi Rail's HMAX digital asset management system with Clever Devices' digital fleet management solutions, leveraging AI and edge computing to deliver real‑time operational insights and predictive maintenance across rail, metro, light rail, and bus services. The article, published on April 6, 2026, highlights that the integrated platform aims to optimise performance, reduce delays, and enhance passenger comfort while supporting sustainability goals through energy optimisation and carbon‑footprint reduction.
By unifying data from trains, signalling, and track infrastructure into a comprehensive digital twin, operators can anticipate failures, extend asset longevity, and make data‑driven decisions. This capability is expected to boost cost efficiency for cities and transport authorities and improve the overall mobility experience for both local commuters and international visitors.
The initiative reflects a broader industry move toward multimodal integration and smart‑city solutions, positioning Hitachi Rail and Clever Devices as key contributors to the evolving digital landscape of public transport.
