City of Hamburg, Deutsche Bahn, and Siemens
Mobility sign cooperation agreement for Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg 2.0
New
intelligent operations control system to be tested until UITP Congress 2025
Partners jointly invest 35 million euros
(Hamburg, July 18,
2023) With the Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg, train travel will become even more
environmentally friendly in the future. Deutsche Bahn (DB), the city of
Hamburg, and Siemens Mobility are introducing a new intelligent operations
control system for the Digitale S-Bahn in Hamburg, aiming to reduce the trains'
power consumption by up to 30 percent. The system will be tested until the UITP
World Congress 2025. The project, costing 35 million euros, is jointly funded
by DB, the city of Hamburg, and Siemens Mobility. A cooperation agreement for
the Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg 2.0 was signed by representatives of the partners

- Siemens to donate EUR 500,000 to foundation for mountain rescue services
- Funds to further develop globally unique Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service's center for Safety and Training in Bad Tölz
- Half of donations from Siemens employees
Siemens and
the charitable association Siemens Caring Hands e.V. are supporting the Stiftung
Bergwacht, a non-profit foundation for mountain rescue services, with a
donation of €500,000. The foundation will use the donation to further develop
the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service’s Center for Safety and Training in Bad
Tölz, Germany, and thus improve disaster prevention in Germany and Europe. Half
the donation is from Siemens employees and half from Siemens AG. The funds are part
of a donation pool that Siemens set up in 2021 in response to the flood
disaster on the Ahr River in the German states of Rhineland-Palatinate, North
Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria. Over the past two years, €2.8 million from the
pool has been used to support 25 emergency, reconstruction and prevention
projects.
Siemens is rigorously executing its announced €2 billion investment strategy. Of this amount, the company plans to invest around €1 billion in Germany, thereby boosting the country’s innovative strength.
- Investment of €1 billion planned in Germany, €500 million for new Technology Campus in Erlangen
- Part of €2 billion global investment strategy in 2023 for boosting growth, innovation and resilience across all regions
- Further investments in Europe and the U.S.
- New campus to become global development and manufacturing hub and nucleus for technology activities for industrial metaverse
- Erlangen location to promote and accelerate ecosystem of partners from business and scientific communities
- Transition to environmentally sustainable net-zero location
Siemens is
rigorously executing its announced €2 billion investment strategy. Of this
amount, the company plans to invest around €1 billion in Germany, thereby boosting
the country’s innovative strength. In the presence of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz,
the technology company today announced the establishment of its new Technology Campus in Erlangen, Germany, with
investments of around €500 million in the expansion of development and manufacturing
capacities. As a result, Siemens is establishing the Erlangen location as a
global research and development hub and the nucleus of global technology
activities for the industrial metaverse. These steps will enable Siemens to
accelerate its overall growth, drive innovation and increase its resilience.
- Maintenance for Vectron locomotives over a
period of 15 years
- Cloud-based Railigent X applications to ensure
efficient maintenance processes
Alpha Trains, the
leading locomotive and trains lessor in Europe, has awarded Siemens Mobility a
long-term service and maintenance contract. The contract covers the complete
maintenance of Vectron locomotives over a period of 15 years, including revisions
at the Siemens Rail Service Center in Munich-Allach. Maintenance of the
locomotives will be tailored to their operation and carried out as needed in
thirteen different countries at the Siemens Mobility Service facilities located
along the major trans-European rail corridors.
As part of the
Digital Rail Germany initiative (Digitale Schiene Deutschland), Deutsche Bahn
(DB), together with Siemens Mobility, Bosch, and other partners, is advancing
the digital railway operations of the future. In the research and development
project called "Automated Train," the partners will test fully
automated train deployment and shunting maneuvers over the next three years. By
2026, Siemens Mobility will equip a train prototype, along with an S-Bahn
train in Stuttgart, with intelligent sensors. The Mireo Smart train from
Siemens Mobility will autonomously travel from the depot to the first station
without a train driver. The vehicle will automatically brake in case of
obstacles. Additionally, the fully automated coupling and uncoupling of the
train will be tested. The second train will gather data for obstacle detection,
among other tests. Both vehicles will be equipped with the same hardware but different
software solutions. This will enable the comparison of sensor data and the
software's responses to specific incidents.
