- Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) Certification
- Supports cutting-edge intelligent infrastructure
- Certificate given at ITS World Congress
Siemens Mobility’ traffic light controller “Sitraffic sX” is certified as compatible with the urban traffic control system SCATS (a registered trademark Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System). New South Wales’ agency for road infrastructure and owner of the registered trademark SCATS system, Road and Maritime Services (RMS), has granted Siemens the certification after a substantial period of integration development and testing. The Compatibility Certificate confirms that Siemens Mobility’s “Sitraffic sX” traffic light controller has been tested and evaluated by RMS to functionally operate with SCATS. The official hand-over of the Certificate from RMS to Siemens Mobility took place during a ceremony at the 26th ITS World Congress 2019 in Singapore at Siemens Mobility booth.
- 25 multisystem Vectron MS locomotives for maximum flexibility
- Cross-border operations on the North-South Corridor
- Deliveries begin at the end of 2020
The Swiss rail freight company BLS Cargo has ordered 25 Vectron MS locomotives from Siemens Mobility for planned operation on the North-South Corridor. They will be used in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Delivery of the locomotives will be carried out in several phases from the end of 2020 to 2025. With this order, the Vectron fleet operated by BLS Cargo will grow to a total of 40 locomotives. The company previously ordered 15 locomotives from Siemens Mobility in 2015.
- Shared Autonomous Mobility solutions being piloted at CETRAN
- Mobility Operating Systems for Urban Centers
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) for traffic scenarios
Siemens Mobility is showcasing the latest in intelligent traffic systems technology at this year’s ITS World Congress taking place in Singapore. This includes mobility operating systems that are helping reduce gridlock on urban streets, which centralize and control traffic throughout urban areas. By connecting road users to road and infrastructure data captured via smart structures, drivers can optimize their routes and reduce their environmental impact. Through data analysis and prediction, traffic can be regulated in an efficient manner.
- Conveyor system will move 127,500 tons of primary crushed ore per day
- New Siemens’ gearless drive technology to increase reliability and efficiency additionally by up to 4 percent
- Maintenance requirements of the drive system significantly reduced
Powered by Siemens’ new gearless drive technology, thyssenkrupp’s high-capacity overland conveyor will access one of the world’s largest copper reserves in Quellaveco. The Quellaveco mine in Peru contains approximately 7.5 million tons of copper in ore reserves – enough to wire 80 million homes or equip 90 million electric vehicles.
- Digital twin of Downtown Line’s signalling system
- Supports troubleshooting, testing and training
- Intelligent infrastructure will minimize service disruptions
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to design and establish a simulation center for the Downtown Line’s (DTL) signalling system. The center will enable in-depth and faster technical analysis surrounding signalling-related incidents, enhance testing of new signalling features and system functionalities before deployment as well as increase capabilities for training LTA and the operator’s technical staff.
- Project is being funded by BMVI
- Joint research on a fully automated tram depot with autonomous trams
- Consortium led by Siemens Mobility
Siemens Mobility, ViP Verkehrsbetrieb Potsdam GmbH (ViP), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Institute for Climate Protection, Energy and Mobility (IKEM), Codewerk GmbH, and Mapillary are planning to undertake joint research on a fully automated tram depot. The project, called “AStriD” (Autonomous Tram in Depot), is being funded by the Federal Ministry for Transportation and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) as part of its “Modernity Fund” (mFUND) research initiative.
- TÜV SÜD issues certificate for proven IT security
- Protection against cyberattacks and response to legal requirements
- Tailored cybersecurity for every project
The Rolling Stock business unit at Siemens Mobility has been certified by Germany’s TÜV SÜD for meeting the international IT security standard IEC 62443. The certification proves that the train control and IT systems in the company’s high-speed trains, regional trains, metros, trams, locomotives, components, and rail solutions are adequately protected against cyberattacks.

- Smartron locomotive can now also be ordered for Bulgaria and Romania
- First orders from E-P Rail and PIMK
- Authorization already received for first locomotive in Bulgaria
Siemens Mobility is now also offering its Smartron locomotive in Bulgaria and Romania. The locomotive is available exclusively in a standard preconfigured version, which ensures cost-efficient operation and high reliability for customers. E-P Rail has already ordered four Smartron locomotives for Romania, and PIMK in Bulgaria a total of three. Authorization for placing on the market for the first Smartron in Bulgaria has already been received.
- 34 six-car Type X metro trainsets, suitable for
fully automatic operation and operation with driver
- Deliveries to begin in mid-2020 with a pre-series
train
- 24-year maintenance contract ensures
sustainable value creation over the entire lifecycle
The first painted car
body for the new Vienna metro was presented today together with the public
transport operator Wiener Linien at the Siemens Mobility plant in the Austrian
capital. The trains are the city's third metro generation supplied by Siemens and
are named "X cars." The first pre-series train is scheduled to be
delivered in mid-2020. A total of 34 six-car trainsets are to be built. Wiener
Linien also secured an option for an additional eleven trains. The trains are
designed for fully automatic operation as well as operation with a driver.
Plans call for them to be used fully automatically on the city's new Line U5,
which is currently under construction, and with drivers on Wiener Linien's
Lines U1 to U4.
- Increased power density and user-friendliness through easy handling
- Plug and play installation and rapid replacement of individual modules
- Increase in redundancy and degradation rates for fuel cell plants
Building on the success of the previous BZM34 and BZM120 fuel cell modules, Siemens aims to optimize the power density and user-friendliness of fuel cell plants on board of air-independent underwater vehicles with its new BZM evo fuel cell module. A single BZM evo has a nominal power of 40 kW. Future plants will be able to provide a maximum power of 320 – 480 kW, depending on the selected type of installation and number of fuel cell modules, without exceeding the footprint of an existing BZM34 or BZM120 plant.
