- Presentation of the first Velaro high-speed
train for Egypt to the Egyptian Minister of Transport
- Train production for the Egyptian high-speed
rail system in full swing
- New 2,000km long high-speed rail network progressing
Siemens Mobility unveiled its first Velaro high-speed train
for the 2,000km turnkey rail system in Egypt at InnoTrans, the world’s leading
international trade fair for transport in Berlin. The train is specifically
designed to withstand the climatic and sandy conditions of Egypt and was presented
to Kamel Al-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister of Egypt, Industry and Trade Minister,
and Transportation Minister, and his delegation, in the presence of the German
Federal Minister of Transport, Mr. Volker Wissing and Siemens AG CEO, Roland
Busch. The train is the first of the 41 Velaro trains manufactured for the
multibillion-dollar turnkey project, a Consortium between Siemens Mobility,
Orascom Construction, and The Arab Contractors.

- Signaling
X opens interfaces and integrates
signaling and control systems for mainline and mass transit into one cloud
platform
- New Railigent X features, fully automated
visual inspection and mobile inspection to make service of trains more flexible
and efficient
Digitalization is a key enabler to reduce emissions and to
deliver the capacity to match a doubling of passenger demand by 2050. By
providing 100% system availability, maximizing the use of existing
infrastructure, and software solutions for seamless door-to-door travel, rail
can become the transport of choice in the future. However, one of the biggest
barriers to a full adoption of digitalization is vast quantities of data being
locked in single systems. Accessing this data via standardized application programming
interfaces (APIs) and connecting them with other systems and services in the
rail ecosystem with the support of AI-driven analysis and evaluation tools is
the key for more efficient rail operations.
- Positions DSB for
modernization with a more dynamic and customer-focused approach
- S3 Passenger
empowers DSB to optimize capacity and demand management and enhance passenger
communications
- Long-term
partnership with a 12-year contract
The Danish State Railways (DSB)
announced it selected S3 Passenger to replace DSB’s legacy inventory management
system for all its mainline services. S3 Passenger is developed by Siemens
Mobility subsidiary Sqills, and it is considered the industry-leading dynamic
pricing, inventory management, and reservation system. DSB signed a 12-year
contract that can be extended by another 12 years. DSB is the third public
transport operator on the Scandinavian market that uses S3 Passenger, and it is
one with a rich history dating back more than a century. DSB was founded in
1885 with the merger of two state-owned railway operators.
- The Science Based Targets initiative has validated
Siemens’ 2030 and 2050 science-based net-zero targets
- Siemens’
near- and long-term emissions reduction targets align with the SBTi Net-Zero
Standard, supporting the company’s commitment to a low-carbon future
Siemens is pleased to announce the confirmation of its updated emissions
reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Supporting
the company’s commitment to fostering a low-carbon future, Siemens’ near- and
long-term targets are now aligned with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard for Scope 1,
2, and 3 targets for 2030 and 2050. The SBTi Net-Zero Standard is the world’s
leading framework for corporate net-zero target-setting in line with climate
science. SBTi provides standards, guidance, and tools for companies to set
emissions reductions targets. This confirmation by the SBTi validates Siemens’
science-based net-zero approach which is fully aligned with the Paris
Agreement.
