- Maintenance for Vectron locomotives over a
period of 15 years
- Cloud-based Railigent X applications to ensure
efficient maintenance processes
Alpha Trains, the
leading locomotive and trains lessor in Europe, has awarded Siemens Mobility a
long-term service and maintenance contract. The contract covers the complete
maintenance of Vectron locomotives over a period of 15 years, including revisions
at the Siemens Rail Service Center in Munich-Allach. Maintenance of the
locomotives will be tailored to their operation and carried out as needed in
thirteen different countries at the Siemens Mobility Service facilities located
along the major trans-European rail corridors.
As part of the
Digital Rail Germany initiative (Digitale Schiene Deutschland), Deutsche Bahn
(DB), together with Siemens Mobility, Bosch, and other partners, is advancing
the digital railway operations of the future. In the research and development
project called "Automated Train," the partners will test fully
automated train deployment and shunting maneuvers over the next three years. By
2026, Siemens Mobility will equip a train prototype, along with an S-Bahn
train in Stuttgart, with intelligent sensors. The Mireo Smart train from
Siemens Mobility will autonomously travel from the depot to the first station
without a train driver. The vehicle will automatically brake in case of
obstacles. Additionally, the fully automated coupling and uncoupling of the
train will be tested. The second train will gather data for obstacle detection,
among other tests. Both vehicles will be equipped with the same hardware but different
software solutions. This will enable the comparison of sensor data and the
software's responses to specific incidents.

- Siemens Mobility and SWEG open depot for
battery-powered trains in Offenburg
- New home for sustainable mobility and
predictive maintenance to ensure 100% availability of the fleet
- 27 zero-emission Siemens trains expected to
enter service in Network 8 “Ortenau” in mid-December 2023 – a first in Germany
- SWEG and the State of Baden-Württemberg sign
transport contract for Network 8
- First public test run of Mireo Plus B battery
train completed
After only
one-and-a-half years of construction, Siemens Mobility is opening a new railway
workshop in Offenburg together with Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-GmbH (SWEG).
The new, modern depot will be used to maintain the Siemens Mireo Plus B
battery-powered trains that are expected to enter service in the Network 8
“Ortenau” as of mid-December 2023 – a first in Germany. SWEG will lease the
depot to Siemens Mobility for 30 years from June 2023. As part of the opening
ceremony today, the Mireo Plus B also took its first public test run on the
route between Offenburg and Gengenbach. In addition, Baden-Württemberg’s
Transport Minister Winfried Hermann and SWEG CEOs Tobias Harms and Dr. Thilo
Grabo signed the transport contract for Network 8 transferring operation of the
network from the state to SWEG for 15 years as of December 10, 2023.
- First X-Wagen
metro now running on the U3 line – more trains follow
in the summer
- Innovative
digital passenger information and guidance system displays real-time
information above each door
- New air-free brake system
- Greater
comfort and security, optimal accessibility
The X-Wagen metro has
initiated passenger service on the Wiener Linien. After undergoing extensive
tests and receiving its operating permit, the first train of the new metro
generation officially began service on the U3 line this morning. The train’s
inaugural run was accompanied by Vienna City Councilor Peter Hanke and numerous
project participants from Wiener Linien and Siemens Mobility, among others.
- LV Insights X software key to accelerating energy transition and path to net zero
- Future-proof software to increase grid capacity in existing power networks
- Distribution grid operators can set up digital twin of low-voltage grids
- Reduced outage times by up to 30 percent, increased insights on critical segments, capacity and limit violations of power grid
- LV Insights X is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Siemens is taking
another important step to accelerate the energy transition: As an industry
first, the company today presented its newly developed software for low-voltage
grids. LV Insights X software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio,
enables distribution grid operators (DSO) to tackle their most pressing
challenge: the need to significantly increase grid capacity while grids are
already pushed to their limits by the fast increase of decentralized renewable
energy infeed and additional consumers such as EV chargers or heat pumps. To avoid
power grids from becoming the bottleneck of the energy transition, utilities urgently
need to increase their grid capacity and actively manage the low-voltage grid.
Siemens Mobility Slovakia has been awarded a contract by the Slovak rail vehicle
manufacturer ŽOS Vrútky to retrofit up to 26 locomotives (option of three
additional locomotives) of the Czech railway company ČD Cargo (ČDC) with ETCS
Level 2 Technology. The locomotives class 240 will be equipped with the
ETCS Trainguard 200 on-board unit for operation across the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Hungary. This project is the third project that Siemens Mobility
and ŽOS Vrútky are executing together. “We are honored about the renewed signs
of trust from ŽOS Vrútky. Our proven ETCS on-board technology will help ČD
Cargo to achieve their modernization and performance goals,” said Branislav
Voska, CEO of Siemens Mobility Slovakia. With ETCS Level 2, the locomotives
will be able to operate with a greater degree of efficiency while meeting the
European standards for interoperability.
