- Siemens Mobility to retrofit 305 Siemens Desiro commuter trains, 64 M6 steering cars and 21 I11 steering cars supplied by Bombardier/Alstom
- The Belgian Railways fleet will now meet the latest European standards baseline V3.6.0 for rail safety interoperability
- Siemens Mobility will provide 10 years of maintenance for ETCS system
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract by NMBS/SNCB, the Belgian National Railways, to retrofit 390 trains and steering cars with European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 technology. With the ETCS Level 2 upgrade, the fleet will be able to operate with a greater degree of efficiency and meet the latest European standards for rail safety interoperability. Siemens Mobility will provide the onboard unit equipment and installation support for trains across the fleet. The new technology will not only support the existing national functions in Belgium and Luxembourg, the re-authorisation of a number of the retrofitted vehicles will also allow the vehicles to potentially operate in Germany and the Netherlands. In addition, Siemens Mobility will provide 10 years of maintenance for the ETCS system and will also provide an Online Key Management Solution which will further digitalize train operation.
-

for Frankfurt
-
Major public transport infrastructure project and milestone in the
mobility transition
VGF,
Frankfurt’s public transport provider, will replace the conventional train control
system currently used in its metro and tram network with a new,
state-of-the-art digital system. The “Digital Train Control System Frankfurt” is

- An Avenio vehicle equipped with SiC technology spent one year transporting passengers in Munich and covered 65,000 kilometers in the process
- Energy use was cut by 10 percent and motor noise was reduced as well
- Joint research project conducted as part of the European development and research program PINTA
Siemens Mobility and Stadtwerke München (SWM) successfully completed a one-year test of semiconductor technology based on silicon carbide (SiC) in an Avenio streetcar in Munich in August. They have now presented the results of their research. The study found that the motor noise produced by the vehicle fell sharply and that energy use declined as well during the trips that the tram made on Munich’s public-transportation rail network. The semiconductor technology was produced by Infineon Technologies. The tests were conducted as part of the European research and development project PINTA. By taking part in the trial, Siemens Mobility significantly contributed to efforts to integrate SiC power semiconductors into rail vehicles.
