- Siemens
Mobility has secured four contracts worth €670 million with HS2 Ltd for key
infrastructure and long-term maintenance
- Premiere:
First time Automatic Train Operations over ETCS is applied to national
high-speed rail system
- HS2,
one of Europe's largest infrastructure projects, will transform rail travel in
Britain
Siemens Mobility has been awarded four
significant contracts by HS2 Ltd and will join key contractors under the Rail
Systems Alliance. Siemens Mobility will play a crucial role in the delivery and
operation of the new 225-kilometer-long British high-speed railway that will
connect London and the West Midlands. For the first time, Siemens Mobility
will implement wayside Automatic Train Operations [ATO] over the European Train
Control System [ETCS] Level 2 on a high-speed network, enabling semi-automatic
train operations (Grade of Automation 2) for improved capacity, punctuality and
energy efficiency. Another contract focuses on an Engineering Management System
that will enable real-time control and monitoring of railway equipment,
ultimately enhancing reliability and efficiency. Siemens Mobility also formed a
joint venture with Costain Ltd to deliver high voltage power supply systems
along the HS2 route. Finally, Siemens Mobility will take charge of implementing
Operational Telecommunications and Security Systems for the entire HS2 route.
All awarded contracts are expected to commence in 2025 with a total order value
of approximately 670 million Euros, including long-term maintenance agreement,
and potentially including additional options.
- Davos’ power utility commissions latest blue GIS system from Siemens using eco-friendly insulating gas
- This is the most reliable single pole encapsulated medium-voltage switchgear globally, adding to Siemens’ pioneering blue GIS portfolio introduced by the company in 2018
- Secure and reliable power supply for up to 40,000 people in Europe’s highest city at 1,560 meters above sea level
- Electrification X combines the real and the digital worlds in Siemens Xcelerator IoT-SaaS offering for electrification and automation
Siemens has installed and commissioned the
world’s first 8DAB 24, the groundbreaking blue GIS medium-voltage system, in
the Alpine town of Davos, Switzerland for its customer EWD Elektrizitätswerk
Davos AG. The switchgear system, which uses Clean Air as insulating gas instead
of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), is deployed in the Dorf substation in Davos,
securing reliable power supply for up to 40,000 people. The installation of
this 24kV circuit-breaker switchgear is an important step towards a
climate-friendly and smart power distribution in Davos. The Fluor-gas-free blue
GIS-portfolio was launched by Siemens ahead of EU regulations, serving as another proof point
of the company’s focus on sustainability across its portfolio. Siemens introduced the first SF6-free solution around
seven years ago, since then installed many more successfully and this being the
latest addition.
