Passengers can first experience the new
interior design of the 17th ICE 3neo
- New seats, functions,
materials, and colors
- DB to receive 73 more ICE 3neos with new interior
design by 2028
The
new ICE interior design celebrated its premiere today in the 17th
ICE 3Neo. Among its numerous innovations: The completely redeveloped seats are
designed as a personal retreat, offering improved adjustment options and even
greater comfort. The interior’s harmonious new look features modern materials
like wood décor accents and premium 85-percent wool upholstery in finely
nuanced colors. Seats in the 1st class are finished in warm gray
tones, while blue tones dominate in the 2nd class and burgundy red defines
the on-board restaurant. Additional passenger functionality is provided by features
like integrated tablet holders and coat hooks in each backrest. With this new interior
design, DB is pursuing its strategy to renew its train fleet and further
improve travel comfort and convenience. At the Frankfurt Central Station today,
representatives of DB and Siemens saw off the new train on its premiere
passenger trip to Cologne – three months earlier than originally planned.
- 18 Desiro HC double-decker trains enter service in Franconia and southern Thuringia in December
- more seats, high level of comfort, cutting-edge technology
- 30-minute service intervals between Nuremberg and Bamberg
- over 10,000 additional seats per day
- eight more trains coming as of June 2024
The movement to
modernize regional transport continues to gain momentum: When the timetable
changes in December 2023, 18 new Desiro HC double-decker trains from Siemens
Mobility will inaugurate service for the Franconia-Thuringia Express. With a
top speed of 160 kilometers per hour, 380 seats, spaces for 36 bicycles, WiFi
service, high-frequency windowpanes that significantly improve cellphone
reception, as well as an electronic passenger information system with 27
monitors, the new Franconia-Thuringia Express operated by DB Regio Bayern
offers a special experience for its passengers. The new trains will operate on
many routes in the future, such as between Nuremberg and Bamberg daily between
5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. every 30 minutes in both directions. The trains will
provide over 10,000 additional seats on this route. DB Regio Bayern and
Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (BEG), which plans, finances and controls
regional and S-Bahn transport on behalf of the state of Bavaria, presented the
new train today together with Siemens Mobility at the Bamberg main station,
followed by a press tour through Franconia. The states of Bavaria and Thuringia
are investing a total of €320 million in the new train fleet to expand regional
transport capacities.
- Fast charging in up to 15 minutes
- SICHARGE D chargers ensure seamless charging, high reliability and flexibility
- Dynamic power allocation ensures optimized charging time
Siemens has been
awarded one of the largest single orders for SICHARGE D electric vehicle (EV)
fast chargers globally to date. The order, which comprises of 200 EV fast
chargers and digital services, was made by Astor Enerji, a manufacturer of transformer
and switchgear products to fulfill its plans to build charging stations
throughout Turkey. The company intends to set up chargers every 200 kilometers
along highways all over the country and at a number of shopping malls. By the
end of the year, at least 150 chargers are planned to be in operation, with the
remaining chargers to be delivered by February 2024.
- New medium-voltage switchgear supports decarbonization of power grids with reduced CO2 footprint
- Industrialized and climate friendly primary blue GIS switchgear helps sustainable energy transition ahead of regulation
- Condition monitoring software from Siemens Xcelerator portfolio with integrated sensors and devices provide more asset transparency
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has expanded its range of sustainable and
digital medium-voltage switchgear to support the decarbonization of today's
power grids. The new F-gas-free blue GIS primary switchgear enables an early
transition to sustainable grids ahead of regulation. With a focus on industrialized
and high-end ratings up to 24kV and 2500A, Siemens has launched the 8DAB 24 and
upgraded the NXPLUS C 24.
- Partnership enables Siemens to become a one-stop-shop solutions provider of e-mobility services for corporate fleet and facility management
- Feature-filled software with high flexibility and convenience for EV drivers and fleet operators
Siemens and the electric vehicle (EV) charging platform provider Monta have partnered to facilitate the expansion of
charging infrastructure across Europe. Siemens will use Monta’s Charge Point
Management System to manage its own fleet and charging points, as well
as to serve customers with a fully-fledged solution for EV charging at work, in
public and at home, enabling high availability.
- 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.
- Mireo Plus H hydrogen train reduces CO2
emissions on routes around Augsburg
- Passenger service starts in mid-2024
Siemens Mobility has
completed the first test runs with the Mireo Plus H hydrogen-powered train in
Bavaria. The two-car trainset will enter passenger service in mid-2024 on
routes between Augsburg and Füssen and Augsburg and Peissenberg on the rail
network of Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB). Pilot operations of the train are
planned for 30 months and are supported by the State of Bavaria. Siemens
Mobility and Bavaria signed the corresponding development partnership in 2021.
- Equipping the Harburg II bus depot in Hamburg is a follow-on project to the successful construction of three technical centers at the Alsterdorf bus depot
- Infrastructure to establish an electric bus fleet in Saarlouis
- 40 charging points in total
- Charging infrastructure, including planning, construction and connection to the medium-voltage grid
Siemens has received two major orders to set up
the charging infrastructure for electric buses (e-buses) in two cities in
Germany. In Hamburg, Siemens will again support Hamburger Hochbahn AG, one of
Germany´s largest public transport companies, in reaching its goal of operating
a completely emission-free bus fleet by 2030. In Saarlouis, Siemens will enable
the smooth transition to electric buses for Kreisverkehrsbetriebe Saarlouis
(KVS GmbH). The projects include planning, installing the charging
infrastructure and integrating it into the medium-voltage grid. This is
complemented by multi-year maintenance contracts. In Hamburg alone, eliminating
all diesel-powered buses will save approximately 66,000 tons of CO2
per year.
- 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”.
