- 24 "ÖBB Cityjet" Desiro ML trains
- Attractive passenger comfort and increased value sustainability over the entire lifecycle
Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) has ordered an additional 24 Desiro ML regional trains from Siemens, bringing the total number of ordered trains to 189. Delivery of the new trains, which will operate under the name "Cityjet," is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2020. The three-car electric trainsets will be used as regional trains (S-Bahn) in eastern Austria. The trains will be produced at the Siemens Mobility plants in Krefeld, Germany, and Graz, Austria, and final assembly will take place at ÖBB's Technical Services factory in Jedlersdorf, Austria.
At ISH, the leading international trade show for building, energy and air conditioning technology and renewable energy sources that took place in March 2019 in Frankfurt, Germany, Siemens did exhibit its current portfolio of products, systems and solutions for energy-efficient rooms and buildings as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technology.
- Siemens Mobility, ryd and Hawa Dawa use environmental and vehicle data to optimize traffic
- Pilot proves managing traffic at an individual level can reduce air pollution hotspots
- 35 to 40 percent of drivers took more eco-friendly alternative routes
Siemens Mobility, ryd (a platform by ThinxNet), and Hawa Dawa completed a real-world pilot project showcasing that individual vehicle drivers can be influenced to take an alternative route and air pollution hotspots can subsequently be reduced. The pilot shows an alternative approach to general city tolling, which could also be combined with public transit to enhance intermodal mobility.
With the Junelight Smart Battery, Siemens is offering its first battery storage specially geared to the requirements in private homes for the storage and use of self-generated energy. The lithium-ion storage combines functions for intelligent and safe energy management and a modern design. Homeowners can use it to maximize the share of their self-generated energy, e.g. from photovoltaic systems, for their own consumption, to minimize their energy procurement costs and to make a long-term contribution towards the reduction of CO2 emissions. The Junelight Smart Battery coordinates the predictive charging and discharging procedures depending on the weather-related yield forecast of the photovoltaic system and the individual consumption profile of the household. Using the mobile Junelight Smart App, all energy flows – from production, through storage, right down to consumption and grid in-feed – can always be monitored in real time. The storage capacity can be flexibly adapted to individual needs at any time, encompassing up to 19.8 kilowatt hours (kWh). The Junelight Smart Battery is now available in Germany and will be launched in Austria in April 2019.
- Contract value of €42 million
- Modernization and automation of Line A and Patio de Bello depot
- Systems will be operational in 2021
Siemens Mobility will install its advanced rail signaling technology on line A of the Medellín, Colombia metro and the Patio de Bello depot that serves the metro network. The €42 million contract will include the system design, implementation and certification for the wayside system. In addition, it will optimize the interaction between the existing onboard system with the wayside system infrastructure. The project modernizes the technology installed more than 20 years ago for the city's first metro line. When completed in 2021, the new system will provide greater availability to passengers.

The Siemens Zug campus features a new office building with 1,000 work spaces and a newly constructed production building. The Siemens Zug campus is one of the first new projects to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) for design and construction. The campus complex is equipped with building automation, security and fire safety technology from Siemens BT and particular emphasis was placed on sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings.
On September 26, 2017 Siemens and Alstom have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to combine Siemens' mobility business, including its rail traction drives business, with Alstom. The transaction brings together two innovative players of the railway market with unique customer value and operational potential. The two businesses are largely complementary in terms of activities and geographies. Siemens will receive newly issued shares in the combined company representing 50 percent of Alstom's share capital on a fully diluted basis.On February 6, 2019 the European Commission has announced its decision to prohibit the proposed combination of the Siemens and Alstom mobility businesses. As a result of this prohibition, the merger will not proceed. Siemens and Alstom regret that the remedies they offered, including recent improvements, have been considered insufficient by the EU Commission.
- S70 low-floor light rail vehicles
- After delivery, Houston will have 51 Siemens Mobility vehicles
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract from the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) for 14 light rail vehicles that will operate in Houston, Texas. This marks Houston METRO's third order for Siemens Mobility vehicles, which will bring the total number in Houston to 51. The S70 low-floor light rail vehicles will supplement the vehicles currently servicing the city's three light-rail lines, which account for nearly two million trips per month. This will ensure the system's reliability, efficiency and passenger experience.
