Hitachi Rail

While Hitachi Rail is not explicitly named in the provided articles, the news centers around Renfe, the Spanish state-owned railway operator. Renfe's Alvia train was involved in a recent accident in Adamuz, Córdoba, prompting an ongoing investigation by the Comisión de Investigación de Accidentes Ferroviarios (CIAF). The investigation seeks to understand the sequence of events leading to the accident, including the performance of the train's safety systems and braking. Separately, Renfe has initiated a tender process to purchase 30 new high-speed trains for €1.362 billion. This purchase was initially delayed following the Alvia accident. The accident investigation and the new train procurement are significant events impacting Renfe and the broader Spanish rail network. While Hitachi Rail's potential involvement in supplying the new trains is not stated, it is a major player in the rail industry and could be a potential bidder.
