- Siemens and Halske purchased first plot of land for today’s Siemensstadt 125 years ago
- Digital twin makes planning, construction and operation of new urban district smart and sustainable
- Relaunch of Siemensbahn rail line on schedule: planning underway, integration of public to begin; line to be “back on the Ring” starting in 2029
Steeped in tradition and moving into the future: On May 7, 1897, Siemens & Halske acquired the first plot of land in Spandau at the location where Siemensstadt, which translates to “Siemens City,” was soon to be built. Now, 125 years later, an inclusive and sustainable future-oriented location will be created on the same site. To get this location ready for the future, two new manufacturing hubs are being built on the site. For the first time, a holistic digital twin will be used to plan, build and operate the overall district. In addition, the relaunch of the Siemensbahn (“Siemens Railway”) light-rail line is on schedule. Beginning in 2029, people will be able to reach the new section of Berlin in a climate-friendly, convenient manner using the “S-Bahn” rapid- transit system. Franziska Giffey, governing mayor of Berlin; Cedrik Neike, a member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens’ Digital Industries unit; and Alexander Kaczmarek, Representative of Deutsche Bahn AG for Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, were on hand to mark the important milestone for the new city district.
- “H2goesRail” joint project developing a completely new overall hydrogen system for rail
- First roll-out of the Mireo Plus H hydrogen train from Siemens Mobility and the hydrogen storage tank trailer for fast mobile refueling by Deutsche Bahn
- “H2goesRail” project an important step for exiting from diesel and advancing climate-friendly transportation transition
Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Siemens Mobility are continuing to drive the climate-friendly transportation transition in rail. The two partners premiered elements of their innovative complete system at the Siemens plant in Krefeld: The newly developed Mireo Plus H, the next-generation hydrogen-powered train, and a newly designed mobile hydrogen storage trailer. The train and its new infrastructure are intended to replace diesel multiple-unit trains in commuter and regional transport and reduce rail-related CO2 emissions to zero.
- Siemens Mobility to provide seven Mireo Plus B trains to Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark
- An innovative and energy-efficient hybrid battery powered platform that can operate with or without overhead lines
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract to supply seven battery powered Mireo Plus B trains to the Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark. This is the first contract for battery powered rail in Denmark and is part of a pilot project to replace all diesel trainsets throughout the country. The Mireo Plus B combines all the benefits of the Mireo platform with a high-performance battery system that enables trains to operate on routes with or without overhead power lines thanks to their battery hybrid drive. The seven two-car electric trainsets will be delivered by the end of 2024 and are scheduled to operate on two lines in the Midtjylland region of Denmark.
Stadtwerke München (SWM) is
continuing its modernization of the Munich Transport Company’s (MVG) metro
fleet. On Wednesday, April 27, 2022, SWM and MVG took delivery of the first of
a total of 22 type C2 metro trains of the third delivery series (the so-called
2nd option) at SWM’s technical base in Fröttmaning near Munich. There, the
train will now be made ready for operation, undergo extensive tests and be
approved for passenger service.
- Desigo PXC7 building automation controller enables tailor-made and scalable solutions for larger buildings
- Speeds up and simplifies engineering and commissioning process
- Higher resilience and availability thanks to BACnet Secure Connect communication
After the
launch of the PXC4 and PXC5 controllers for the optimized control of small and
medium-sized buildings, Siemens has added the PXC7 to its Desigo portfolio to
offer even more flexibility to building automation practitioners. This new
addition allows professionals to program heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) applications for larger buildings. Thanks to its simplified
integration capabilities, the Desigo PXC7 controller supports
system integrators in providing
a complete automation solution.
Siemens
Mobility is moving its development and production site from Treptow to Berlin
Adlershof. A modern, new building is being constructed at Germany’s biggest
science and technology park on Wagner-Régeny-Strasse in Adlershof. The building
will provide attractive space for offices, as well as production and storage
facilities. A 65-year leasehold has been agreed between BEOS AG and the State
of Berlin for the 26,420 m² site. BEOS AG will assume responsibility for the
entire construction project.
