Škoda Group – Development, production and modernisation of rail vehicles

The Škoda Group is a leading European manufacturer of rolling stock with more than 165 years of tradition. Ostrava is one of its main centres – tram production and modernisation takes place in Martinov, rail vehicle production in Moravská Ostrava and teams of developers and designers work in the Ostrava offices. The products manufactured in Ostrava and other plants go all over the world – from battery trains and new ComfortJet trainsets for Czech Railways, to regional trains for Latvia and Estonia, to modern low-floor trams for Ostrava and vehicle upgrades for Gothenburg, Sweden. The presence of the Škoda Group means not only top engineering and employment opportunities, but also that the region is at the birth of state-of-the-art transport solutions that are finding applications across Europe.
