- Siemens Mobility Mireo receives initial approval in just 38 months
- Start of operations for Mireo and Desiro HC in the Rhine Valley network planned for timetable change on June 14, 2020
In February 2017, the Ministry for Transport in the state of Baden-Württemberg ordered 24 Mireo trains and 15 Desiro HC double-decker trains to be operated by DB Regio. This marked the first order for the new Mireo regional multiple-unit trains developed by Siemens Mobility. The Mireo has received initial approval from the German Railway Authority in time for the timetable change in June 2020. Plans call for gradually incorporating the Mireo trains in regional service (RB) on the Offenburg – Freiburg – Basel/Neuenburg (Rhine) route beginning with the timetable change in June 2020.
- Siemens Mobility has been appointed to supply the rail electrification system for Region Stockholm Extended Metro Administration
- Major rail electrification contract with a volume of 21 Million Euros
Siemens Mobility has been selected by Region Stockholm Extended Metro Administration to deliver rectifier stations and network stations for the new Stockholm Metro extension. The project is an expansion of the metro with a yellow line that will run from Odenplan to Arenastaden and extensions of the Blue line to Barkarby in the north west and to Nacka and Söderord in the south east. In addition, the Blue Line will be connected to the green Hagsätra branch, and a new section will be built between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. The project is worth about 21 Million Euros. Work will start immediately and will take several years to complete. Delivery will take place in stages during the construction period.
- F-gas-free Clean Air switchgear extends blue GIS portfolio to 24 kV level
- Proven and safe technologies for easy management over the entire lifecycle
- Digital features allow for increased reliability in all grids and optimized operation
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is expanding its portfolio of environmentally friendly, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) to 24 kilovolts (kV) with a new fluorine gas-free NXPLUS C 24 medium-voltage switchgear. The use of Clean Air – a natural insulation medium – in combination with proven vacuum switching technology eliminates the need for any fluorine-based gas mixtures (F-gases), enabling climate-neutral energy distribution. The switchgear is equipped with digital features allowing for safe, reliable and cost-efficient operation.
- BDŽ orders ten Smartron locomotives
- Delivery: February to May 2021
- The Smartron concept: One version, one contract, one price

- New 3RS2 product series for monitoring the temperature of gases, liquids, and solids in industrial and infrastructure installations
- Overall width was cut in half and allows space-saving installation
- Combining functions into one device simplifies order selection
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has transformed the temperature monitoring relays from its Sirius portfolio. The new series 3RS2 devices are available in analog and digital versions. They use sensors to measure the temperature in industrial control cabinets, of engine, bearing, and transmission oils, or cooling liquids, preventing plant malfunctions or damage that can result when exceeding or dropping below certain limit values. These relays can also monitor heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation systems, solar collectors, heat pumps, and hot water supply systems.The devices in the new Sirius 3RS2 series
are approved for safety applications up to SIL 1 / PL c, for use in industrial
furnaces, as well as for monitoring burners and ATEX applications, among other
things. Compared to the predecessor models, they feature expanded
functionalities, a narrower design, and easier operability.
