Sustainability
Sustainable, innovative solutions from Siemens Mobility for rail and road transport
As a consequence of the megatrends of
urbanization, globalization and demographic change, demand for mobility is
soaring worldwide. Passenger transport is expected to triple by the year 2050.
At the same time, climate change is underscoring the necessity and urgency of providing
sustainable mobility.
Sustainable
mobility systems are critically important for resource-saving economic
development and the sustainable shaping of our societies. Sustainability is the
key factor for enhancing the prosperity and quality of life for all people,
while at the same time sensibly limiting the consumption of resources out of
consideration of the environment and future generations.
Mireo Plus B
The battery-powered train Mireo Plus B makes climate-friendly, locally emission-free passenger transport possible, thus offering a sustainable alternative to the use of diesel-powered trains on non-electrified rail routes.
Velaro Novo – the new vehicle concept for high speed trains
Running at 300 km/h, the new high-speed train uses 30 percent less energy than previous Velaro models, which translates to average savings of 1,375 tons of CO2 a year. Thanks to its lightweight construction, the train's weight was reduced by 15 percent. At the same time, available space for passengers was increased by ten percent.
Seamless Mobility
Mobility Made Easy: Digital Solutions for Seamless Transportation
From
public to private transit, from fixed route to demand-responsive transport (DRT),
by bike, taxi, car sharing, and other new mobility offerings – passengers increasingly
use a variety of different transport modes to get from point A to point B. The
ability to make choices at the touch of their fingertips is now a daily reality
for most of them.
Transforming public transit with demand-responsive autonomous shuttle bus systems
The world of mobility is a
prime example of disruptive transformation – a transformation that is driven by
four key trends: electrification, connectivity, shared use and autonomous
technology, with autonomy being the lever that is expected to have the biggest
impact. In the future, self-driving vehicles will fundamentally change the ways
of how we move about.
Autonomous bus shuttles optimally complement public transport –
especially on the first and last mile.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms help make
the most of the abundance of transport options that are available – for
travelers, operators, businesses and cities alike.
