Siemens presents Vectron X and Siemens Xcelerator portfolio at InnoTrans 2026
Vectron X brings Siemens Xcelerator to rolling stock for the first time, combining proven locomotive technology with digital services, open APIs, standardized data, and a connected ecosystem of customer, operator, and third-party applications
Four years
after launching its Siemens Xcelerator journey in rail, Siemens Mobility is
bringing its open digital business platform into rolling stock for the first
time. Making its InnoTrans debut, Vectron X extends the Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio from Signaling X, Mobility Software Suite X, and Railigent X to the
locomotive itself, marking the next major step toward a more connected,
software-defined rail ecosystem. At InnoTrans 2026, the company will demonstrate
how data and artificial intelligence help operators increase capacity, improve availability
and reliability, enhance the passenger experience, and optimize lifecycle
costs. With a 1,000+ m² booth, approximately 45 indoor exhibits, immersive digital experiences, and more than 300 meters of
outdoor displays, Siemens Mobility showcases technologies that are delivering proven
results for customers around the world. Visit Siemens Mobility in Hall 27, Booth 230.
"Nothing is transforming
rail faster than data and AI. Operators need more capacity, availability, and a
better passenger experience while making the most of existing infrastructure.
That's exactly what Siemens Xcelerator is designed to deliver. At InnoTrans
2022, we committed to building a connected, open, and future-ready mobility
ecosystem. Today, that vision has become reality. Our Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio demonstrates how open APIs, standardized data, and connected
platforms are turning digital innovation into measurable customer value at
scale. With Vectron X, we are now bringing this open platform and
software-defined approach to rolling stock," said Michael Peter, CEO of
Siemens Mobility.
Vectron X:
Bringing Siemens Xcelerator to the locomotive
At the heart of Siemens
Mobility’s presence at InnoTrans is Vectron
X, the company’s new software-defined locomotive platform. Designed as an
open and connected platform, Vectron X combines proven locomotive technology
with digital services, an onboard App Store, and a central Smart Screen that
integrates operational data, route information, and customer-, operator-, and third-party
applications in a single interface. Enabled by Railigent X, the new locomotive
continuously evolves with software updates and new digital capabilities
throughout its lifecycle. One of the centerpiece demonstrations at the booth
connects a Vectron X driver's cab with Signaling X, Mobility Software Suite X,
and Railigent X through open data, APIs, and cloud technologies, showcasing an integrated
rail ecosystem.
AI in action across the rail ecosystem
A
central highlight of the exhibition is Siemens Mobility's immersive AI cinema
experience, demonstrating how operational data can be transformed into
actionable insights across the entire rail system. Featured use cases include:
- AI-supported traffic management and network optimization
- Predictive maintenance and lifecycle optimization
- Intelligent passenger information and travel assistance
- Data-driven infrastructure monitoring and diagnostics
Transforming rail infrastructure: Intelligent technologies
for better efficiency
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore
Siemens Mobility’s innovative solutions for digital rail infrastructure, led by
Signaling X – the company’s integrated
technology foundation for the digital transformation of rail infrastructure. By
connecting proven rail technologies with digital capabilities, standardized
software and hardware platforms, and open interfaces, Signaling X provides a
software-defined, cloud-ready, modular, and interoperable architecture that
empowers rail operators to optimize network performance, resilience, and
cybersecurity on existing infrastructure while simultaneously reducing
lifecycle costs and energy consumption.
As part of Siemens Mobility's continued expansion of
Signaling X for countries and cities, the company will present its family of Smart
Object Controllers for the intelligent control of railway field assets.
Together with DS3, Siemens Mobility's safety platform running on commercial
off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware for all signaling applications, it demonstrates
how digital intelligence can be extended to the field level to support more
flexible and scalable rail operations.
Lifecycle
optimization through data & AI in maintenance
With Railigent
X and its comprehensive service portfolio, Siemens Mobility Customer
Services demonstrates how data intelligence and AI are redefining maintenance.
Through integrated sensors and diagnostic systems, every asset – whether
rolling stock like
battery-powered trains or infrastructure – becomes a valuable data
source. Additional train- and trackside measurement and monitoring systems,
such as Vehicle Equipment Measurement
Systems (VEMS) for automated vehicle inspection, further enhance asset transparency
and performance. Based on these insights, Siemens experts proactively monitor
fleets, diagnose faults remotely, and help resolve issues before they impact
operations. AI-powered health-state models support predictive maintenance by
forecasting failures and identifying the optimal timing for preventive
interventions, extending maintenance intervals and keeping assets in service
for longer. Over-the-air software updates keep vehicles up to date without
additional depot visits, while the same data-driven approach supports spare
parts management and component availability.
Software orchestrating the railway system
Software plays a crucial role in
optimizing operations and connecting every element of modern mobility. Siemens
Mobility´s software can be one of the most effective levers to increase the
financial performance of a rail system by achieving more optimized network
utilization and train usage. At InnoTrans, the company will present its Mobility
Software Suite X portfolio to enhance passenger experience and
increase digitally enabled capacity on the tracks and in the train. The
company will showcase S3 Passenger Revenue Management,
an AI-enabled module fully integrated into the S3 Passenger platform,
connecting inventory management, fares, and reservations in real time to ensure
optimized pricing and increased occupancy. AI-enhanced travel
companion apps support passengers throughout their journey
and AI-enabled disruption management streamlines
communication, ensuring quicker reactions to disruptions. The Software
portfolio also includes the Train
Planning System (TPS) Suite, which
helps operators increase infrastructure utilization by up to 20%. TPS.live offers
AI-powered conflict resolution and network-wide optimization of rail traffic.
For the first time, Siemens Mobility will present TPS.yardoptimizer,
a cloud-ready SaaS solution for efficient yard management.
Delivery of complete, digitally enabled, end-to-end global rail systems
Siemens
Mobility’s Turnkey business offers customers worldwide a holistic
concept for developing rail infrastructure. At the Turnkey stand, a Velaro
Novo exhibit highlights how Siemens high-speed platforms are connecting
people, cities, and economies around the world. Alongside this showcase,
Turnkey demonstrates how digital twin simulations support projects from
planning and delivery through operations, helping customers improve efficiency,
reliability, and project execution.
Full portfolio on display
In
addition to its digital innovations, Siemens Mobility will showcase a broad
range of rail technologies in the outdoor area, including:
- Vectron X and cross-border locomotive solutions
- Mireo for ÖBB, designed for operation in Alpine long-distance services
- Battery-powered Mireo Plus B for S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland, including the Rail Charging Converter and services for battery-powered trains
