September the 23rd, 2026 – Croatia’s well known Končar has presented its impressive hybrid electro-diesel train at InnoTrans in Berlin.
The InnoTrans fair in Berlin once again brought together the world’s leading manufacturers, carriers, operators and experts from the fields of transport technology, railways, public transport and sustainable mobility. Sinisa Malus reports for Poslovni that Končar officially presented its latest step forward in Croatian industry in the field of urban mobility and infrastructure at the world’s largest transport technology fair, InnoTrans in Berlin. The train is an ultra-modern hybrid (bimodal) electro-diesel train intended for long-distance transport.
After it was put into regular service on the Zagreb – Split route a week earlier in cooperation with the customer HŽ Passenger Transport, the second train from this series has now also been presented to the international public. With the global premiere of its latest solution for more modern, more comfortable and more sustainable passenger transport, Končar has once again confirmed that the knowledge, competences and technological solutions developed in Croatia compete on equal terms with the biggest names in the European railway industry.
The InnoTrans fair in Berlin once again brought together the world’s leading manufacturers, carriers, operators and experts from the fields of transport technology, railways, public transport and sustainable mobility. Among the most visited parts of the fair was the outdoor exhibition area with 3,500 metres of track, on which 130 exhibitors from 17 countries of the world exhibited a total of 113 vehicles, including the latest generations of trains, locomotives and vehicles with alternative propulsion systems.
Precisely in such an international environment Končar is presenting technological solutions developed and produced in Croatia for the 10th time, confirming its position among the relevant European manufacturers of modern rail vehicles and advanced solutions for sustainable urban mobility. After two years ago it was the only one at InnoTrans to present a battery train, which then also became the first such product in commercial use in Europe and one of the first such products in the whole world, Končar has also displayed its new bimodal electro-diesel train at one of the most attractive positions on the outdoor exhibition area of the fair – on 75-metre-long tracks.
At the same time, the latest solutions for railway infrastructure, electrification, urban mobility and traffic digitalisation were presented on the spacious indoor area, further emphasising the ability of the domestic company to independently develop and deliver integrated technological solutions for the transport systems of the future.
