Published on 10/06/2026 at 13:19 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSHitachi (ISIN JP3788600009) stock was trading at EUR 31.93 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026, minus 0.06 percent versus the prior close of EUR 31.95. On September 22, 2026, Reuters reported that Austrian Federal Railways awarded Siemens Mobility and Hitachi Rail a EUR 2.6 billion framework for digital signaling systems.
Rail contract spans 25 years
The framework covers the digital interlocking systems that control railway switches and signals across Austria. Reuters reported that Siemens Mobility would receive EUR 1.3 billion, with the remainder assigned to Hitachi Rail, while the first pilot operation is planned for 2030.
The contract has a term of at least 10 years, and the accompanying service agreement covers the systems' 25-year lifespan. That duration gives Hitachi Rail a service and support opportunity beyond the initial equipment delivery.
