Vienna, 1 September 2026 – Kontron Transportation continues to reinforce
its strong position in the European railway market with new exposure in
Romania.
Kontron has been awarded several contracts in the establishment of the
Orient/East-Med Corridor. This strategically important route plays a vital
role in connecting Romania with wider European transport flows. Kontron
partners with Hitachi Rail Romania, a longstanding partner, in this

along the line. The project is planned to be carried out over a period of
48 months.

Transportation in Romania and reflects the trust placed in our expertise
and reliability. We are proud to continue our successful cooperation with
Hitachi Rail and to contribute to the modernization of key railway
infrastructure in the region,” said Richard Neussl, Managing Director at
