The National Authority for Tunnels, a governmental authority under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transport of Egypt, and Siemens Mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) - together with the local companies Orascom Construction S.A.E. and The Arab Contractors (Osman Ahmed Osman & Co.) - to design, install and commission Egypt’s first ever high-speed rail transportation system. Additionally, Siemens Mobility will be providing maintenance services. The agreement comprises a rail system with a network of 1000km, with the first being a 460km high-speed line. The order value of this initial high-speed line is around 3bn$.
As the global population experiences rapid growth, more people around the world are moving from the countryside to the city. In addition to the inner-city challenges posed by the urbanization megatrend, there is also an increase in the average traveling distance. As a result, the challenges for train systems are also increasing. To meet these demands, Siemens Mobility and Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) have jointly developed new auxiliary converters to improve the efficiency of on-board power systems using power semiconductors based on silicon carbide (SiC).
- New
signaling means seamless transition to automated train operation (ATO)
- Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC)
- Two
stations and 20 trains will be equipped
Siemens
Mobility, along with consortium partners ST Engineering and BES Engineering
Corporation, has been awarded a contract to deliver the signaling and
communications for two new stations at Taoyuan Airport terminal three. The
airport currently services more than 45 million passengers and with the opening
of terminal three capacity is expected to grow to up to 86 million passengers
per year. The mass transit system will provide access to the terminal for both current
and future passengers. Siemens Mobility will provide the signaling system,
which will include CBTC that will allow for automated train operations (ATO).
Two stations, with an option for a third, and 20 trains will be equipped. The
first station will be commissioned in September 2022, the second is planned for
in June 2024.
- 22 trains from Siemens Mobility and Bozankaya in passenger service
- Enhanced passenger experience and more capacity
In Bangkok, Thailand, all 22 metro trains delivered by the consortium of Siemens Mobility and Turkish railway manufacturer Bozankaya are now in operation on the existing BTS (Skytrain System) Green Lines including its extensions. The last train entered service on the inaugurated Green Line extensions in October 2019. By the 4th of December 2019, Bangkok Mass Transit System Public Company (BTSC) will commence passenger service on the newly completed section of the Green Line from Kheha Station to Kasetsart University Station. In total, 22 four-car trains have been delivered with the scope of Siemens Mobility delivering bogies, drive and brake systems, auxiliary services as well as the project management, engineering, design and commissioning of the trains. The trains were built at the Bozankaya plant in Ankara, Turkey. Siemens Mobility will maintain the trains over a period of 16 years.
- New LRV’s will operate on Mid-Coast Trolley
Extension
- Completes the system’s transition to a fully
low-floor fleet
San Diego's Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) has awarded Siemens Mobility a contract for 25 S700 Low-floor Light Rail Vehicles. These cars will operate the entire 53-mile double-tracked MTS light rail network, including on the 11-mile Mid-Coast Trolley extension, which is scheduled to open in 2021. It will extend San Diego's current Blue Line from the heart of downtown north to University of California San Diego and University Town Center. They will replace Siemens Mobility's high-floor SD100 LRVs which were manufactured in the 1990s. This purchase and subsequent purchases will make San Diego's fleet fully low-floor and accessible. Delivery of the new LRVs is expected in 2021.
- Siemens Mobility will manage contract from the Singapore MindSphere Application Center
- Rail Enterprise Asset Management System to enhance availability
Siemens Mobility and consortium partner ST Engineering Electronics Limited have been awarded an 18.8 million Singapore dollars contract by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to develop and implement a Rail Enterprise Asset Management System (REAMS). This digital program will be managed from the MindSphere Application Center in Singapore, one of Siemens' digitalization hubs. The facility was the first to integrate multi-disciplinary digitalization specialists from different Siemens businesses.
In a consortium with the general infrastructure contractor Per Aarsleff A/S, Siemens has received an order to build a light rail system in Copenhagen, Denmark, from urban transport development company Greater Copenhagen Light Rail I/S. The contract will be implemented as a turnkey project. Commissioning of the system is planned for 2024.

- Demonstration running in California near two largest U.S. Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach
- Siemens truck electrification technology has potential to reduce emissions and improve air quality
Siemens and the "South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)" are running a one-mile, zero-emission eHighway demonstration in the Californian city of Carson, U.S., near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Three trucks hauling freight are running along the stretch of highway which uses Siemens technology to electrify select highway lanes via an overhead catenary system. This catenary system supplies the trucks with electric power, similar to how modern-day trolleys or streetcars are powered on many city streets. The system also allows for truck operation outside of the electrified sections of infrastructure.
