- Pilot operation with climate-friendly battery-powered trains
- Record performance of powerful Mireo Plus B on topographically challenging Westerwald route
- Diesel trains to be replaced by eco-friendly battery trains
Hessische
Landesbahn has opted for three two-car Mireo Plus B battery trains from Siemens
Mobility for their Upper and Lower Westerwald railway pilot project. Both
routes in the Westerwald, with demanding gradients and long non-electrified
sections, require high-performance trains. With its high drive power, the Mireo
Plus B is ideally suited to meet this challenge. Battery-powered trains will
achieve substantial CO2 savings and reduce noise levels and exhaust
emissions in the region when they replace diesel trains.
