- Communications-based Train Control
(CBTC) Signaling system and Platform Screen Doors (PSD) to be provided on for
Cross Island Line in Singapore
- The intelligent infrastructure will
provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and will improve passenger
experience
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract
by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to provide a signaling system

- Running from Austria to Norway without changing
locomotives
- First locomotive with ETCS control system on
the Öresund Bridge
The Vectron has
received official approval for operating along the Scandinavian Corridor
(AT-DE-DK-SE-NO). This enables both freight and passenger trains to run along
the entire corridor without changing locomotives. The first to take advantage of
this is the Swedish rail operator Snälltåget, which has leased three Vectron
locomotives from European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) for cross-border passenger
service in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Austria. The Vectron, manufactured in
the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach, is the first locomotive equipped
with the ETCS train control system that is allowed to operate across the 16-kilometer
long Öresund connection (bridge and tunnel) between Sweden and Denmark. The locomotive
uses the globally proven Trainguard 100/200/300 ETCS on-board unit from Siemens.

- 8DAB 40 switchgear expands the blue GIS portfolio for primary distribution networks enabling sustainable grid expansion ahead of regulations
- Utilizes climate friendly Clean Air insulating medium consisting of natural-origin gases with GWP <1, F-gas and PFAS free
- Software from Siemens Xcelerator platform and integrated sensors enable asset transparency and condition monitoring
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has cemented its position as a technology leader by expanding
its sustainable blue GIS portfolio with the 8DAB 40. This switchgear for
primary distribution networks up to 40,5 kV uses “Clean Air” as insulating
medium with GWP <1, making it climate friendly and completely free of
fluorinated gases. The 8DAB 40 is to be showcased at the upcoming
Hannover Messe, taking place from April 17th to 21st. Free tickets are available to be part of the Siemens
experience. Siemens Xcelerator is an
open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale.
- Launches SIBushing as smart and intelligent cable connection bushing, together with SICAM FCM plus short circuit and earth fault indicator
- Complements SIPROTEC 5 series with the 7SY82 universal protection device with Low Power Instrument Transformer (LPIT) inputs
- Designed with sustainability at their core, the portfolio additions offer an intelligent solution for switchgear of the future
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has expanded its industry-leading medium voltage portfolio with
a sustainable and intelligent solution that paves the way for smart switchgear
of the future. Due to its conformity with the
instrument transformer standard IEC 61869, the SIBushing can be connected to the SICAM FCM plus (Feeder Condition
Monitor), a multi-functional, short-circuit and earth-fault indicator which
uses detection algorithms to indicate the direction of the cable fault. Applicable
for medium voltage distribution systems up to 36kV, the SICAM FCM plus with
SIBushing delivers unrivaled transparency and high-precision measurement of
distribution systems, resulting also in the consumption of significantly less
power, compared to conventional instrument transformer technologies.
- More space for locomotive production and service business
- Floor area to be increased by around 30,000 m2
- New capacities to meet growing demand
Siemens
Mobility is expanding its manufacturing and services facility in Munich-Allach
in order to meet the growing demand for locomotives and services. The factory
will be enlarged to 80,000 m2 from its current 50,000 m2
to provide additional capacities for processing new orders, optimizing
production and logistics flows within the facility, and add more office space.
- The project will enhance the University’s research capabilities to develop and use AI and robotics to inspect and maintain solar arrays
- The array is expected to be fully operational by July and will enable the University of York’s Institute for Safe Autonomy to become energy self-sufficient.
The University
of York has appointed Siemens to design and deliver a solar array located at
the University’s new Institute for Safe Autonomy (ISA) as part of a £1.5
million research project. Funded through the UK Research Partnership
Investment Fund (UKRPIF), the project will enhance the Institute’s research
capabilities to develop and use AI and robotic systems to inspect and maintain
solar arrays.
- Inner-Alpine, local and regional service beginning in 2025
- Greater comfort and convenience thanks to low-floor entry and more space for passengers with bicycles, buggies and luggage
Siemens
Mobility Austria GmbH has received an order from ÖBB for additional 27 Siemens
Desiro ML electric trainsets. With this order, ÖBB is continuing to renew its
fleet and investing in modern trains for inner-Alpine transport. ÖBB previously
ordered 246 Desiro ML trainsets and over 200 of them are already in service
throughout Austria.
- Project on Terceira handed over to Portuguese energy company EDA – Electricidade dos Açores
- Software from Siemens Xcelerator portfolio and 15 MW battery storage boost share of renewables, improve flexibility and resilience of power grid
- Expected annual CO2 savings of more than 3,600 tons
Siemens Smart Infrastructure,
in partnership with Fluence, a market leader in energy storage established in
2018 by Siemens and AES, has successfully
completed and handed over a sustainable energy project on the Azores island of
Terceira to the Portuguese
energy provider EDA – Electricidade dos Açores. The project combines software
that forecasts energy consumption and production with
a powerful battery-based energy storage system, allowing for greater and more reliable
integration of renewable energy sources such as wind or solar into the power
grid. This combination is expected to reduce CO2
emissions by more than 3,600 tons per year.
The Spectrum Power Microgrid Management System (MGMS)
software implemented for EDA is part of the
Siemens Xcelerator portfolio which supports the digital transformation of power
utilities worldwide.
- Siemens invests 30 million euros in its switchgear plant in Frankfurt-Fechenheim
- Construction of intelligent high-speed warehouse, expansion of the production area and investments in machines and production lines
- Expansion of the fluorine gas-free, gas-insulated product portfolio
- 200 new jobs and additional investment in employee training program
Siemens is
investing 30 million euros to expand its switchgear plant in Frankfurt-Fechenheim.
A smart, fully automated high-speed warehouse and a 1,200 square-meter
extension to an existing hall are being built on the 160,000 square-meter site.
For years, the plant has been experiencing steady growth in incoming orders and
is working at its capacity limit. The additional
production area will support a third assembly line for switchgear, boosting the
site and creating new jobs in the region. Sustainability is an essential
consideration: The plant is expanding its production of environmentally
friendly medium-voltage switchgear, and the two new buildings will have roofs
with photovoltaic systems. At today’s groundbreaking ceremony, Martin Betzmann,
Site Manager of the Frankfurt-Fechenheim switchgear plant, Stephanie Wüst,
member of the city council and Head of Economic Affairs of the city of
Frankfurt am Main, Stephan May, CEO of Electrification & Automation at
Siemens AG, and Steffen Rümmler, Head of the German Business at Siemens Real
Estate, symbolically opened the construction site.
