Shifting freight transport to rail has its limitations. Therefore, a share of this transport will need to be carried out by trucks that combine reliable service with minimum environmental impact. The eHighway system is twice as efficient as conventional internal combustion engines. This Siemens Mobility innovation supplies trucks with power from an overhead contact line. This reduces local air pollution and contributes significantly to the decarbonization of the transport sector.
Clarissa Haller, Head of Global Communications at Siemens AG, is leaving the company by mutual agreement.

- Siemens Caring Hands makes tablets available to all local THW
sections through the THW Foundation
- Devices are also to be equipped with cloud-based apps based on Siemens’
Mendix software
- Civil defense and disaster control teams are to use tablets and
software to respond to emergencies in a faster and more targeted manner
- Project is part of the COVID-19 relief fund set up by Siemens and is
a key element of THW Foundation’s PROGRESSUS initiative
Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is making a
long-term contribution to fighting the pandemic and is supporting the task
forces of the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) in driving
digital transformation with the help of the THW Foundation. This will simplify
THW’s work as a system-relevant organization in times of crisis. In total,
Siemens Caring Hands is donating 668 tablets to THW Foundation, which in turn
is making it possible to use these devices at all 668 local THW sections.
Siemens Caring Hands is not only bearing the hardware costs, but is also making
Siemens experts available as advisors to help put the devices into operation –
for example, by helping with data protection issues and by equipping the
tablets with additional cloud-based apps. These apps are being programmed for
this specific purpose by Mendix, a Business Unit of Siemens Digital Industries
and a global leader in no-code/low-code applications. To develop the apps, a
multi-phase process has been established that enables THW to plan the low-code
applications on its own according to its specific needs and to then develop the
apps with the aid of a hackathon that Siemens will be holding at the end of
April.
