New rail, road, port and aviation technologies aim to support safer, more connected and efficient transport across South Africa.
Information and communications technology (ICT) provider Huawei hosted customers and partners at the Smart Transportation Summit, part of Huawei South Africa Connect 2026, to discuss how intelligent technologies can help improve the safety and efficiency of South Africa's transport network.
Held under the theme Driving Mobility and Logistics into the Intelligent World, the summit saw Huawei launch 12 solutions across four transport sectors: rail, road traffic, ports and aviation.
Huawei Chief Technology Officer for South Africa Sam Tang opened the summit by outlining the importance of South Africa's transport network to the economy.
“South Africa’s transport network is the real backbone of our economy. It connects our mines, farms and factories to the world. And it carries millions of people to work every single day. The smart solutions we need today are mature, real and ready to scale up.”
