Siemens
Mobility has completed the acquisition of Optrail S.r.l., an Italian-based
technology company, that provides unique algorithms for Traffic Management
Systems – TMS – based on mathematical optimization methods and operations
research. The acquisition complements Siemens Mobility’s existing Train
Planning System – TPS – portfolio and strengthens its position as a leading
supplier of software solutions to rail customers. Optrail
will remain based in Rome, Italy, and its technology will be integrated into
Hacon’s existing TPS products. Hacon, a Siemens Company, is based in Hanover,
Germany, and an essential part of Siemens Mobility’s software unit.
- Contract to maintain 51-strong Class 185 train fleet gets extension for 8 years, until 2031

subsidiary depots at York and Cleethorpes.
- ICE 3neo fleet grows to 90 trains
- Additional order volume of around €600 million
- High-speed climate protection thanks to short
delivery times
- Trains from first order already in service
Siemens Mobility will
deliver an additional 17 ICE 3neo trains worth around €600 million to Deutsche
Bahn (DB). The ICE 3neo fleet, based on the Velaro MS platform, will then grow
to a total of 90 trains. Deutsche Bahn first ordered 30 ICE 3neo trains from
Siemens Mobility in July 2020, and called up 43 further trains in January 2022.
With this new order, the original framework agreement for 90 trains signed in
July 2020 has been completed. The ICE 3neo trains will be manufactured at the
Siemens Mobility plant in Krefeld and delivered by August 2028. Trains that
were first ordered have been in passenger service since December 2022, after
being built in record time.
- Performance optimized, easy to use and future-proof servo drive system
- Flexible and compact – scalable depending on the application
- Easy engineering thanks to integration in TIA, integrated web server and one-button tuning function
With Sinamics S200, Siemens is launching a new servo drive system designed
for a variety of standard applications in the battery, electronics as well as other
industries. It consists of a precise servo drive, powerful servo motors and
easy-to-use cables and offers high dynamic performance. Applications that
require precision in speed and torque, such as winding and unwinding machines in
battery manufacturing and cell assembly, particularly benefit from the new
servo drive system. For this purpose, Sinamics S200 offers optimized speed
ripple, cogging torque compensation, 17/21-bit ST and 21-bit MT encoders, and
cycle-synchronous communication for optimized performance by
Profinet IRT in minimum 250us.
