AMiT Transportation
AMiT Transportation is a Czech developer and manufacturer of onboard electronics and train communication network components for rail vehicles, headquartered in Prague and supplying vehicle builders and integrators across Europe and Asia.
The company’s origins date to 1992, when AMiT was founded in Prague as a developer of microprocessor-based control electronics. Rail vehicle electronics grew into one of its two core divisions alongside industrial automation.
In September 2022, the Czech investment fund Central Europe Industry Partners (CEIP) acquired a 70% stake in AMiT, with the original owners retaining the remainder. In January 2025 the automation division was carved out as a separate company, and the original legal entity was renamed AMiT Transportation s.r.o.
According to its profile with the Czech railway industry association ACRI, the company has around 160 employees. Its headquarters and development are located in Prague.
Products within industrial networking
AMiT Transportation supplies complete Train Communication Network (TCN) solutions in accordance with IEC 61375. Its Wire Train Bus (WTB) gateways integrate up to three onboard communication types — Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB), CAN, and Ethernet — in a single node.
The gateways are available in a compact standalone version and a modular subrack version. The subrack version supports redundancy at both gateway and power supply level, and the units are certified in accordance with UIC 556 and designed to EN 50155.
The networking portfolio also includes MVB converters and modules, Train Real-time Data Protocol (TRDP) modules, and WTB/MVB bus analysers for diagnostics of TCN communication. Alongside the bus components, the company produces Ethernet infrastructure for rail vehicles: managed and unmanaged switches, routers, and converters.
Market position
The company participates in the standards bodies that define its product domain: IEC TC9 working groups WG43 (IEC 61375) and WG46 (IEC 62580), and the UIC-IEC Trainet & Multimedia Group. It is a member of ACRI.
According to its ACRI profile, key rail customers include Škoda Transportation and Siemens. Company-reported reference deliveries include 110 MVB/CAN gateways to Kiepe Electric, then part of the Knorr-Bremse group, for Ruhrbahn’s tram fleet in Essen, and 250 WTB gateway components to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited in India.
The company states that its TCN products have been delivered to markets including the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Turkey, and India — a claim based on its own reporting.
Current activity
In December 2024, the AMiT group acquired a majority stake in Bustec, a Czech-German manufacturer of passenger information systems, extending the group’s transport electronics portfolio.
In 2025 the company participated in integrating a railway version of the Starlink satellite antenna into a České dráhy InterPanter unit, and supplied onboard systems for RegioJet’s PESA Elf 655 electric units, which entered service in the Prague region in April 2025.
