The world’s largest trade fair for transport technology – InnoTrans – will be held in Berlin from September 20 to 23. Siemens Mobility will showcase its products in hub 27, booth 230 and in the outdoor exhibition area.
Rail is seen as the game-changer in combating climate change – and digitalization will play a major role in managing the growing demand for mobility. Digital technologies, services and innovations allow for better availability, more punctuality and better utilization of trains, which benefits the operator and the customer.Under the
motto “Destination digital” at InnoTrans, Siemens Mobility presents four
crucial levers for supporting its customers in providing sustainable,
comfortable, and cost-effective rail traffic: lifecycle cost optimized rail
infrastructure and rolling stock, 100% system availability, maximized network
capacity and optimized customer experience and processes.
- 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.
- Siemens Mobility awarded €270 million contract to install digitalized CBTC technology across entire 94 km of track, including a new 6 km track
- Automated signalling will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and passenger experience
- Digital maintenance and support services for the CBTC System for 25 years
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a €270 million contract by Sporveien AS in Oslo, Norway to install and maintain a Communications-Based Train Control system (CBTC) on the Oslo Metro. Siemens Mobility will completely replace the current legacy signalling with its digitalized CBTC technology which will provide greater automation and connectivity, allowing for a more efficient and centralized control of operations. Specifically, the optimization and renewal of the complete 94 km network will increase the availability, safety, and capacity of the Oslo Metro, while also equipping it to meet the future demands for mobility and the need for any potential expansions or upgrades. As part of this contract, Siemens Mobility will design, integrate, test, and commission the system, while also providing digital maintenance and support services for the CBTC system for 25 years.
- Siemens Mobility and Continental cooperate in manufacturing pantographs
for trucks
- Initiative of the Ministry of
Transport recommends eHighway on 4,000 kilometers of autobahn
Siemens Mobility and
Continental Engineering Services (CES) will cooperate in the future on the
development and manufacture of pantographs for trucks. The eHighway technology
from Siemens Mobility supplies trucks with electricity via an overhead line. The
cooperation aims to electrify key stretches of highway-networks in Germany’s autobahn network with
overhead contact lines and thus significantly reduce CO2emissions from
trucks. The new partnership combines expertise from two technology worlds:
Siemens Mobility is a specialist in rail electrification, Continental
Engineering Services is a development and production service provider for
automotive technologies. The two companies will now pool their know-how to
quickly achieve series production of truck pantographs.
- VGF and Siemens Mobility to build the train control system of the future
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
one of the company’s most important projects for the future. Following a public
procurement procedure initiated in early 2021, the VGF is now awarding the important
contract to Siemens Mobility.
- 90 new trains in size XXL
- For the first time, all cars are completely integrated and set new standards
with a train length of over 200 meters
- Financing guaranteed by
the State of Bavaria
Passengers on Munich’s S-Bahn can soon look
forward to traveling on the most modern S-Bahn trains in Germany. Siemens
Mobility will deliver 90 superlative new S-Bahn trains worth more than two
billion euros after winning an EU-wide tender. The contract includes an option
for additional trains. Financing for the trains is guaranteed by the State of
Bavaria through a leasing model.
- Siemens launches study of 1,400 executives globally revealing regional, city and industry insights regarding the infrastructure transition across energy systems, mobility and buildings
- Decarbonization is a top priority within the infrastructure transition, but progress is too slow
- Over 50% of executives believe decarbonization is a competitive advantage, but less than half believe their country has an effective decarbonization strategy
- Technology and digitalization key levers of a successful infrastructure transition
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has released key insights into the divisive nature of the infrastructure transition in a new report, titled “Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2023: The Great Divide on The Path to Net Zero.” Data from the report reveals that there is limited alignment on priorities and how best to progress towards a decarbonized and resource-efficient world. Whilst more than half of people surveyed believe the infrastructure transition is accelerating in their region, a quarter of participants - senior executives from seven major industry groups - said that progress is “too slow”, while 29 percent believe progress is “coordinated”, and 31 percent describe it as “on target”.
