This merger brings together MÁV-START, which operates trains; Volánbusz, providing bus services; and MÁV-HÉV, managing local railway lines.
Despite the integration, MÁV Group has announced that it will retain the well-known brand names in a simplified form: MÁV, VOLÁN, and HÉV. This decision reflects common usage among passengers and aims to preserve the brands as part of the nation's shared heritage.
The unified company will adopt the winged wheel as a common logo, symbolizing group-level cohesion. The new visual elements will be introduced gradually and cost-effectively, appearing on new materials or where replacements are necessary due to wear and tear. This approach ensures that the rebranding does not incur unnecessary expenses or unplanned costs.
Passengers will begin to see the updated logos in announcements and on vehicles over time. The careful rollout reflects MÁV Group's commitment to modernization while maintaining a connection to its historical roots in Hungary's transportation network.
