RVK and ATRON enter into service and sales partnership
The Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) offers the people in the Rhineland an attractive and sustainable local public transport. ATRON electronic GmbH is a leader in innovative software and hardware solutions for public transport.
Already in February 2022, the two companies concluded a framework agreement for the delivery of more than 900 modern on-board computers of the AFR 4.10 series. Since November 1, 2022, RVK now also takes over the non-exclusive service and sales partnership for the ATRON on-board computers in the entire contract area of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS)*.
"We are glad that we can make the ATRON on-board computers, which have already been reliably introduced in our company, including comprehensive services, available to other transport companies even more intensively in the region," says Dr. Marcel Frank, Managing Director of RVK. Barbara Brunner, managing director of the ATRON Group, is pleased about the signing of the new service and sales partnership: "I am very happy about the continuation and deepening of the partnership between RVK and ATRON. The two companies are united by the goal of making public transport in Germany even more attractive and sustainable."
