In today’s announcement we talk a lot about #MobilityasaService, and about Hitachi’s commitment to drive decarbonisation.

I’m excited to share today’s announcement and I’m looking forward to welcoming the exceptional teams at Thales’ Ground Transportation Systems (@ThalesTransport) business into the Hitachi family.

As we continue on the road to @COP26, I believe that if we want passengers to use lower carbon modes of transport, we need to provide better public transport. ‘Mobility as a Service’ could play a huge role in that ➡️ bit.ly/37ds0ZU
