Clever Devices develops technologies for fleet management, passenger information and service efficiency for public transportation systems. The company operates in the United States, Europe and South America, and its systems are used in rail and bus networks. The acquisition adds a digital business expected to generate more than $220 million in revenue in 2026 as Hitachi Rail responds to rising demand for integrated transport systems. Clever Devices employs about 600 people and has deployments at eight of North America's 10 largest public transit agencies. The deal also broadens Hitachi Rail's footprint in North America, Clever Devices' largest market, while extending its reach in Europe and South America, including Brazil, Chile and Italy. Frank Antonysamy has been appointed chief executive of Clever Devices. Hitachi Rail said Clever Devices' portfolio of onboard and operations data solutions would complement Hitachi's HMAX Mobility offering, which uses physical AI technologies for public transport applications. Within that platform, HMAX for Rail connects data from trains, signaling systems and infrastructure to create digital twins intended to improve railway performance, extend asset life and optimize costs. Giuseppe Marino, group chief executive of Hitachi Rail, said in the statement that combining Clever Devices' intelligent transport systems with Hitachi Rail's global reach and HMAX Mobility would help the company expand beyond rail and strengthen its North American presence. The transaction was carried out in coordination with Hitachi's Strategic Social Innovation Business unit. Hitachi Rail has also been investing in North America, including a $110 million digital factory in Hagerstown, Maryland, and a C$30 million headquarters in Canada. Hitachi Ltd. forecast revenue of 10.5867 trillion yen for the fiscal year ended March 2026. As of the end of March 2026, the group had 606 consolidated subsidiaries and about 290,000 employees worldwide. © Copyright 2026 IBTimes JP. All rights reserved.
