"We hope to enable intelligent rail operations through joint innovation with our partners," he said.

Adhering to the concept of openness and cooperation, Huawei said it is committed to driving digital transformation along with rail customers and ecosystem partners, who complement each other's strengths, and can innovate together, explore industry standards and build an ecosystem for rail digitalization.

At the same time, Huawei exhibited its innovative solutions and flagship products for the rail industry at InnoTrans 2022 on Thursday, a leading traffic and transport novelties trade fair.
