Nearly 160,000 visitors and over 3000 exhibitors from more than 110 countries have come together at InnoTrans 2018, the leading international railway-technology tradefair held this year from 18 to 21 September in Messe Berlín, Germany.

GMV took part as exhibitor in the intelligent-transportation-technology pavilion, showcasing its various technological innovations, including most notably the EMV (Europay, Mastercard and VISA) application in the various onboard ticketing hardware. This new equipment caters for direct bankcard payment, whether with a physical or virtualized bankcard.

After recently winning a public tender GMV is now implementing this new payment standard in the Balearic Islands’ public transport network, incorporating all the advantages of a cloud ticketing system.

GMV’s stand also carried out demos of various solutions, such as GMV Planner for the railway sector, which helps operators to manage services, working shifts, service hours and quadrants in their daily operations, or the advanced railway and tram fleet-management system set up by GMV in cities like Sydney.

The main attractions of this latest InnoTrans tradefair, held for the fourteenth time this year, were the following: Railway Technology, Railway Infrastructure, Public Transport, Interiors and Tunnel Construction. Held under the banner "The future of mobility" this year’s tradefair addressed the following burning issues of this sector: proactive expectations, innovative communication and information solutions, energy efficiency plus the new materials and intelligent security technology.
