The 3264 PTV Group is continuing with its expansion strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, with the opening of a new branch office in Japan. Based in Tokyo, the newly established PTV Japan will officially open its doors on 1 April 2014, offering transport and logistics software and real-time optimisation solutions and services.

Yoshihiko Hashino, a long-standing partner of the PTV Group, is the new sales manager.

This includes design and planning of train and metro stations (inside and outside) and airports.”
