- 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.

- Record: ICE 3neo commissioned just two and a half years after ordering
- First trip from Frankfurt/Main to Cologne
- DB investing ten billion euros in expanding its long-distance fleet
- 73 ICE 3neos by 2029
(Frankfurt am Main, December
5, 2022) Deutsche Bahn (DB) is putting its latest ICE generation into service around
a week earlier than originally planned. The new ICE 3neo is making its
inaugural trip with passengers today between Frankfurt/Main and Cologne. Partners
DB and manufacturer Siemens Mobility succeeded in getting the train up and
running in record time. Despite pandemic-related restrictions and disrupted
supply chains worldwide, the inaugural passenger trip is taking place just two

- Siemens Mobility develops concept for future ICE
- DB contributes operator
expertise
Deutsche Bahn AG (DB)
has concluded a development partnership for long-distance rail transport with
Siemens Mobility following a tender. In the first half of 2023, the two
companies will work together on developing their vision of a new-generation
high-speed train. Once the concept has been completed, a further tender is
expected to follow in the second half of 2023 for the development, construction
and certification of the new fleet.
- Hamburger
Hochbahn and Siemens Mobility are building the train control system of tomorrow
for Hamburg’s U2 and U4 lines
- Significant
increase in capacity: trains will be able to run at 100-second intervals
Between now and 2030, a state-of-the-art digital train
control system from Siemens Mobility will be installed as an upgrade to the
conventional train control system used by operator Hamburger Hochbahn
(HOCHBAHN) on its U2 and U4 subway lines. The new technology, known as CBTC
(communication-based train control), will allow trains to run at shorter
intervals of only 100 seconds, which will put significantly more trains on the
track in the future, thereby increasing capacity. In addition, CBTC also
improves punctuality, reliability, and energy consumption.
Fraport AG, operator of the Frankfurt Airport, has commissioned Siemens, lead in a consortium with Max Bögl Group and Keolis Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, to deliver a fully automated Airval people mover. The Airval will connect the Terminal 2 with the new Terminal 3 and the Station at Terminal 1. The line will be 5.6 kilometers long, and have two tracks and three stations. Siemens will deliver 12 fully automated two-car trains equipped with GoA4 Communication Based Train Control Trainguard MT CBTC, the trackwork equipment, the station platform doors, communication system, depot equipment and the power supply system. In addition, Siemens will take over the operation and maintenance of the system for five years with an option to extend service for another five years. The Airval system will be designed and developed at Siemens' Val world center of competence in Toulouse, France. The fully automated people mover is scheduled to begin service at the Frankfurt Airport in 2023.
Travel time of eight minutes between Terminals 1 and 3 – Capacity for
4,000 passengers per hour and direction – Scheduled to begin operation with
the opening of Terminal 3 – First test trips in 2023
