- Snälltåget
implements Sqills S3 Passenger from Sqills, a subsidiary of Siemens Mobility
- Implementation
to support with longest night train route in the EU
- Increased
capacity, improved passenger experience
Swedish open-access rail operator Snälltåget has announced
that it will be implementing S3 Passenger, the dynamic pricing, inventory management,
and reservation system offered by Sqills, a Siemens Mobility
subsidiary. Snälltåget
and Sqills have opted for a phased approach in terms of
implementation: The Swedish operator will benefit from a short time-to-market
while adding more functionalities in the months after go-live. One feature that
Snälltåget will be using from the start is the support for cross-operator
cooperation as a way for providing through tickets. This will further improve
passenger comfort when booking long-
distance trips. S3 Passenger is based on the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and is part of the open, digital business
platform, Siemens Xcelerator, that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier,
faster and at scale.

- East Rail Line Cross-Harbour Extension equipped with new signaling system officially opens for revenue service
- 46 km East Rail Line now connects Chinese Mainland border, New Territories, Kowloon to Central Business Districts on Hong Kong Island
- Automatic train control system on the whole East Rail Line enhances operational efficiency
The East Rail Line Cross-Harbour Extension in Hong Kong successfully commenced passenger service on May 15, 2022, with Siemens Mobility’s Communications-Based Train Control system (CBTC). This completes the automation of the 46 km long East Rail Line connecting the Chinese Mainland border to the central business areas on Hong Kong Island and becomes the fourth railway line crossing Victoria Harbour. The Siemens Mobility digitalized signaling system helps provide passengers with the ability to reach the commercial, convention and financial hubs in the Wan Chai North and Admiralty areas in a faster, safer, and more seamless way.
- 106 new trains delivered on schedule and in passenger service
- New trains offer a high level of comfort, state-of-the-art passenger information and cameras for greater security
- Ceremonial delivery of last train of the new 483/484 series to enter service
The new Berlin S-Bahn fleet has been completed today: all 106 trains of
the new series are now in service. The trains, equipped with air conditioning, state-of-the-art
passenger information systems and cameras for greater security, offer passengers a new level of
comfort and convenience. The new fleet also increases the transport capacity in parts of the
city’s S-Bahn network, thus expanding services. In the course of replacing the older trains, the
number of cars per train was also increased. For customers, this has specific benefits: longer
trains operate on the Ring lines S41/S42 as well as the S8 line, and the S8 line is extended to
Wildau during peak hours. The new S-Bahn fleet now offers a total of around 18,000 seats. The
new trains have entered service successively since the beginning of 2021, and have been
operating on lines S41, S42, S46, S47 and S8 since then.
- Migration
to the highest grade of automation (GoA4)
- Delivery
of onboard equipment for 226 new trains
- Project
will be commissioned in five phases; fully automated by 2033
- Total
order volume of approximately 270m Euros
Siemens Mobility will upgrade the entire 170 kilometers long S-bane
network in Copenhagen to the highest grade of automation (GoA4 technology) to
enable unattended train operations starting with the first phase in 2030. Respective
contracts have been signed with Banedanmark (BDK) and
DSB recently including the necessary signaling equipment for trains and
wayside. GoA4 will allow the operator to run more trains in the entire system, enhance
the level of passenger experience, secure the current punctuality rate and will
future-proof the network. The new contracts have a total volume of about 270m
Euros and build on the original contract from 2011 to equip the Copenhagen
S-train network with the Communications-Based Train Control System [CBTC].

Siemens Mobility GmbH achieved the ISO 27001 certification on July 1, 2022. The ISO 27001 certification encompasses 20 Siemens Mobility locations in Germany with more than 9,000 employees and involves Siemens Mobility Business Units, such as Rolling Stock, Rail Infrastructure, Turnkey Systems and Customer Services and all disciplines, including procurement, development, production and project management. ISO 27001 is an internationally acknowledged standard specifying cybersecurity requirements that organizations must fulfill and to which they must adapt. Increasing digitalization brings benefits – as well as the need for adequate protection against cyberattacks. Rail operators face new cyber threats and cyber laws are giving rise to new requirements. Siemens Mobility offers secured products and solutions that are integrated into one holistic security architecture and provide security services. With these, Siemens Mobility secures rail systems from end to end throughout the complete lifecycle. The ISO 27001 certification is another building block in the protection of the entire development and production lifecycle for mobility systems. The ISO 27001 certification is a milestone for Siemens Mobility on the way to digitising the rail industry.
- Sinumerik Ctrl-E in V6.22 with new functions for evaluating and reducing energy consumption
- Flexible HMI portfolio for multifunctional machine tools
- Perfect compatibility in use and programming for easy integration into the existing machine fleet
At this year's EMO, Siemens is expanding its range of products and services with the "Digital Native" CNC Sinumerik One. The new CNC generation from Siemens, which was launched on the market in 2019, comes with numerous innovations in software and hardware. With the new Sinumerik software version V6.22, there are new technology functions for the Sinumerik One that increase transparency in the machine, simplify operation, reduce machine wear, and increase performance. This leads to the optimal use of available resources, for example by reducing scrap and repairs. It also helps to increase machine productivity by minimizing idle and production times, for example.
