Germany’s first
use of the Mireo Plus B battery hybrid train from Siemens Mobility / Benefits passengers
and the environment
Innovative
technology along with even more climate protection and greater comfort and
convenience for passengers – regional rail transport on Network 8 (“Ortenau”) is
rising to a new level on April 8, 2024. Today’s the day the first four
battery-powered trains from Siemens Mobility begin regular service, marking a
premiere in Germany. The official start was celebrated by an exclusive
inaugural trip from Offenburg to Oberkirch and back, and was accompanied by
Winfried Hermann, Minister of Transport for the state of Baden-Württemberg, together
with numerous invited guests. “We are writing a new chapter in railway history
with this opening trip,” commented Minister Hermann. “Thanks to the battery
hybrid drive of the Mireo Plus B, trains operating in the Ortenau
region as of today are more climate-friendly than those using diesel.
Baden-Württemberg is a pioneer with innovative train technology. All trains
should be climate-friendly. We are relying on alternative, climate-friendly
solutions wherever there are still no overhead power lines.”
