City of Hamburg, Deutsche Bahn, and Siemens
Mobility sign cooperation agreement for Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg 2.0
New
intelligent operations control system to be tested until UITP Congress 2025
Partners jointly invest 35 million euros
(Hamburg, July 18,
2023) With the Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg, train travel will become even more
environmentally friendly in the future. Deutsche Bahn (DB), the city of
Hamburg, and Siemens Mobility are introducing a new intelligent operations
control system for the Digitale S-Bahn in Hamburg, aiming to reduce the trains'
power consumption by up to 30 percent. The system will be tested until the UITP
World Congress 2025. The project, costing 35 million euros, is jointly funded
by DB, the city of Hamburg, and Siemens Mobility. A cooperation agreement for
the Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg 2.0 was signed by representatives of the partners
today.
- Maintenance for Vectron locomotives over a
period of 15 years
- Cloud-based Railigent X applications to ensure
efficient maintenance processes
Alpha Trains, the
leading locomotive and trains lessor in Europe, has awarded Siemens Mobility a
long-term service and maintenance contract. The contract covers the complete
maintenance of Vectron locomotives over a period of 15 years, including revisions
at the Siemens Rail Service Center in Munich-Allach. Maintenance of the
locomotives will be tailored to their operation and carried out as needed in
thirteen different countries at the Siemens Mobility Service facilities located
along the major trans-European rail corridors.
As part of the
Digital Rail Germany initiative (Digitale Schiene Deutschland), Deutsche Bahn
(DB), together with Siemens Mobility, Bosch, and other partners, is advancing
the digital railway operations of the future. In the research and development
project called "Automated Train," the partners will test fully
automated train deployment and shunting maneuvers over the next three years. By
2026, Siemens Mobility will equip a train prototype, along with an S-Bahn
train in Stuttgart, with intelligent sensors. The Mireo Smart train from
Siemens Mobility will autonomously travel from the depot to the first station
without a train driver. The vehicle will automatically brake in case of
obstacles. Additionally, the fully automated coupling and uncoupling of the
train will be tested. The second train will gather data for obstacle detection,
among other tests. Both vehicles will be equipped with the same hardware but different
software solutions. This will enable the comparison of sensor data and the
software's responses to specific incidents.

- Siemens Mobility and SWEG open depot for
battery-powered trains in Offenburg
- New home for sustainable mobility and
predictive maintenance to ensure 100% availability of the fleet
- 27 zero-emission Siemens trains expected to
enter service in Network 8 “Ortenau” in mid-December 2023 – a first in Germany
- SWEG and the State of Baden-Württemberg sign
transport contract for Network 8
- First public test run of Mireo Plus B battery
train completed
After only
one-and-a-half years of construction, Siemens Mobility is opening a new railway
workshop in Offenburg together with Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-GmbH (SWEG).
The new, modern depot will be used to maintain the Siemens Mireo Plus B
battery-powered trains that are expected to enter service in the Network 8
“Ortenau” as of mid-December 2023 – a first in Germany. SWEG will lease the
depot to Siemens Mobility for 30 years from June 2023. As part of the opening
ceremony today, the Mireo Plus B also took its first public test run on the
route between Offenburg and Gengenbach. In addition, Baden-Württemberg’s
Transport Minister Winfried Hermann and SWEG CEOs Tobias Harms and Dr. Thilo
Grabo signed the transport contract for Network 8 transferring operation of the
network from the state to SWEG for 15 years as of December 10, 2023.
- First X-Wagen
metro now running on the U3 line – more trains follow
in the summer
- Innovative
digital passenger information and guidance system displays real-time
information above each door
- New air-free brake system
- Greater
comfort and security, optimal accessibility
The X-Wagen metro has
