• New design for better orientation
• Free tate of Bavaria invests over two billion euros in new trains
• First trains will be delivered at the end of 2028

At InnoTrans, the international trade fair for transport in Berlin, Bavarian Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter today presented the exterior design for the new Munich S-Bahn trains. Heiko Büttner, DB Group Representative for the Free State of Bavaria and CEO of S-Bahn München, together with Karl Blaim, Managing Director and CFO of Siemens Mobility, reported on the progress of the project. The first of a total of 90 new trains from manufacturer Siemens Mobility are to be delivered successively beginning at the end of 2028. The exterior design of the new S-Bahn vehicles is based on a modern diamond pattern and the colours white and ‘Bahnland Bayern’ blue. Bavarian Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter: “In future, the new Munich S-Bahn trains will show who is behind them: the Free State of Bavaria, which is investing more than two billion euros in this project. It is therefore only logical that the most modern S-Bahn trains in Germany will be travelling in the design of our local transport brand. But it's not just about new colours, because the exterior design of the S-Bahn trains will also make it as easy as possible for passengers to find their way around in future.”

• Signaling X opens interfaces and integrates signaling and control systems for mainline and mass transit into one cloud platform
• New Railigent X features, fully automated visual inspection and mobile inspection to make service of trains more flexible and efficient  

Digitalization is a key enabler to reduce emissions and to deliver the capacity to match a doubling of passenger demand by 2050. By providing 100% system availability, maximizing the use of existing infrastructure, and software solutions for seamless door-to-door travel, rail can become the transport of choice in the future. However, one of the biggest barriers to a full adoption of digitalization is vast quantities of data being locked in single systems. Accessing this data via standardized application programming interfaces (APIs) and connecting them with other systems and services in the rail ecosystem with the support of AI-driven analysis and evaluation tools is the key for more efficient rail operations.
