- The two companies intend to work together to close gaps in the standardization of inductive charging systems
- Plans include technical collaboration and joint interoperability tests
Siemens and MAHLE intend to collaborate in
the field of inductive charging of electric vehicles. Both companies have
signed a letter of intent to this effect. “Wireless charging of electric
vehicles is emerging as a major market for the future. In addition to making
life considerably easier for drivers, who no longer have to fiddle with cables
and connectors, it is a crucial requirement for the autonomous mobility of
tomorrow. The transfer efficiency of wireless, inductive charging is comparable
to plug-in systems,” said Stefan Perras, Head of Pre-development and Innovation
for Charging Infrastructure at Siemens AG.
- Hamburger
Hochbahn and Siemens Mobility are building the train control system of tomorrow
for Hamburg’s U2 and U4 lines
- Significant
increase in capacity: trains will be able to run at 100-second intervals
Between now and 2030, a state-of-the-art digital train
control system from Siemens Mobility will be installed as an upgrade to the
conventional train control system used by operator Hamburger Hochbahn
(HOCHBAHN) on its U2 and U4 subway lines. The new technology, known as CBTC
(communication-based train control), will allow trains to run at shorter
intervals of only 100 seconds, which will put significantly more trains on the
track in the future, thereby increasing capacity. In addition, CBTC also
improves punctuality, reliability, and energy consumption.

- Siemens Mobility supported RATP and Ile-de-France
Mobilités in the complete automation of Line 4
- Siemens Mobility fully automated the line with its digitalized
systems and CBTC signaling technology
- The automation of Line 4 will centralize control of operations, increase availability, reliability, and
capacity
The
modernization of Line 4 of the Paris Metro has been completed with the highest
grade of automation and the automatic driverless metros have now begun revenue
service. The digitalization
and optimization of Line 4 will allow RATP to safely increase frequency by reducing intervals
between trains from 105 to 85 seconds. Chosen in
2015 by RATP to automate Line 4, Siemens Mobility supplied their digitalized
communication and CBTC signaling systems to modernize the network. After a
trial run with no passengers that began in June, the automation of Line 4 is now
a reality. More automatic driverless shuttles will be introduced into the
line's traffic over time to achieve full automation by the end of 2023.
