- “H2goesRail” joint project developing a completely new overall hydrogen system for rail
- First roll-out of the Mireo Plus H hydrogen train from Siemens Mobility and the hydrogen storage tank trailer for fast mobile refueling by Deutsche Bahn
- “H2goesRail” project an important step for exiting from diesel and advancing climate-friendly transportation transition
Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Siemens Mobility are continuing to drive the climate-friendly transportation transition in rail. The two partners premiered elements of their innovative complete system at the Siemens plant in Krefeld: The newly developed Mireo Plus H, the next-generation hydrogen-powered train, and a newly designed mobile hydrogen storage trailer. The train and its new infrastructure are intended to replace diesel multiple-unit trains in commuter and regional transport and reduce rail-related CO2 emissions to zero.
- Siemens Mobility to provide seven Mireo Plus B trains to Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark
- An innovative and energy-efficient hybrid battery powered platform that can operate with or without overhead lines
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract to supply seven battery powered Mireo Plus B trains to the Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark. This is the first contract for battery powered rail in Denmark and is part of a pilot project to replace all diesel trainsets throughout the country. The Mireo Plus B combines all the benefits of the Mireo platform with a high-performance battery system that enables trains to operate on routes with or without overhead power lines thanks to their battery hybrid drive. The seven two-car electric trainsets will be delivered by the end of 2024 and are scheduled to operate on two lines in the Midtjylland region of Denmark.
- Siemens installs its fluorine gas-free, medium-voltage switchgear NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS at Iberdrola
- Climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air with a global warming potential <1 consists exclusively of natural components of ambient air
- The power distribution solution enhances sustainability and climate protection for Spanish utility
Headquartered in the Spanish city of Bilbao, Iberdrola, one
of the world’s largest electric utilities and the world's largest wind power
producer, aims to become carbon neutral across Europe by 2030. To achieve this
goal, it is systematically implementing its environmentally-friendly and
sustainable business model. To this end, Siemens Smart Infrastructure has been
commissioned by i-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes SAU, the company responsible
for power distribution activities within the Iberdrola Group, to supply its sustainable
medium-voltage switchgear to the northern Spanish province of Burgos. This marks
the first installation of fluorine gas-free switchgear from Siemens’
climate-friendly blue portfolio at a customer site in Spain.
Stadtwerke München (SWM) is
continuing its modernization of the Munich Transport Company’s (MVG) metro
fleet. On Wednesday, April 27, 2022, SWM and MVG took delivery of the first of
a total of 22 type C2 metro trains of the third delivery series (the so-called
2nd option) at SWM’s technical base in Fröttmaning near Munich. There, the
train will now be made ready for operation, undergo extensive tests and be
approved for passenger service.
- EWE NETZ installs fluorine gas-free blue GIS medium-voltage switchgear from Siemens in Brake, Germany
- Investment in climate protection and supply security in the region
- Climate-friendly insulation gas “Clean Air” replaces fluorine gas
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has supplied EWE NETZ GmbH, which operates highly-efficient power
grids in Germany, with its latest environmentally-friendly switchgear
technology. EWE NETZ has now completed a new medium-voltage switchgear
installation in Brake in the Wesermarsch region of Lower Saxony, which includes
seven fluorine gas-free NXPLUS C 24 circuit-breaker panels from Siemens’ green blue
GIS portfolio. This makes EWE NETZ one of the first grid operators in Germany
to switch to the climate-friendly insulation gas Clean Air for an entire
medium-voltage switchgear installation.
Siemens
Mobility is moving its development and production site from Treptow to Berlin
Adlershof. A modern, new building is being constructed at Germany’s biggest
science and technology park on Wagner-Régeny-Strasse in Adlershof. The building
will provide attractive space for offices, as well as production and storage
facilities. A 65-year leasehold has been agreed between BEOS AG and the State
of Berlin for the 26,420 m² site. BEOS AG will assume responsibility for the
entire construction project.
- Automated signaling and electrification systems to be installed on commuter Lines 8 and 9 in São Paulo
- Will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, improved sustainability, and better passenger experience
Siemens Mobility has been awarded two contracts by ViaMobilidade Linhas 8 e 9 to upgrade and modernize the São Paulo metro network. ViaMobilidade is part of the Brazilian infrastructure company CCR Mobilidade and are responsible for all urban mobility projects for the CCR Group in the country. Siemens Mobility will equip Line 8 with an automated signaling system and will install new electrification and traction power systems on both Line 8 and 9. The renewal of both lines will provide for greater availability, enhanced operations, increased sustainability, and an improved passenger experience. These contracts build on the already well-established relationship Siemens Mobility has with the concessionaire and the São Paulo metropolitan transportation network.
- Transitions to Siemens´ EnergyIP Meter Data Management Software-as-a-Service

- Increases staff efficiency by decreasing time spent on routine maintenance
- No-touch customer updates provided virtually with advanced cyber security protection
Silicon
Valley Power, the municipal utility for the City of Santa Clara, Calif., serves
a community of innovation and technology made up of some of the world’s largest
world-class high-tech companies. Serving thousands of municipal customers and
approximately 50 commercial data centers, the utility wanted to upgrade its older
version of EnergyIP Meter Data Management (MDM) solution. To do so it also
sought out solutions that would allow the upgrade without causing service
disruptions, increased installation costs, a steep learning curve for staff,
and cyber security and compliance concerns. Siemens’ EnergyIP MDM
Software-as-a-Service (MDM SaaS) helped address all of the utility’s
requirements. EnergyIP MDM SaaS conforms with Cloud Security
Alliance (CSA) STAR Level One cybersecurity guidelines. This registration
