wind down its industrial operations and all industrial business
activities.
Siemens was one of the
first companies to put all new business in and international deliveries to
Russia on hold while it evaluated the situation to ensure the safety of its
3,000 employees in the country.
Cooperation on condition-based and predictive maintenance is extended to the end of 2024 and now also includes 130 Vectron locomotives
On this day, 120 years ago, Siemens’ Central Press Office was founded in
Berlin – making Siemens one of the first German companies to professionalize
its press work. This development was
preceded by a conference on the company’s “literary affairs,” at which
participants complained of an “increasing dispersion of Siemens’ newspaper,
advertising and news activities.” The solution was to establish a Central Press
Office, and a Circular was issued on February 8, 1902, to officially announce
this step.
The central artery of the Copenhagen S-train network is now in operation

Mobility.
VAG
Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft orders 14 more Avenio trams for Nuremberg, setting
the course for a transition in mobility. The stated goal is to strengthen
public transport in the Franconian metropolis. To this end, over the next few years,
the frequency of service will be increased, new lines will be built, and new
services will be created for Nuremberg's passengers.
After the initial
order for 12 vehicles in 2019, VAG Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft took the option
included in the contract and is expanding the fleet to a total of 26 trams.
Since November, the first Avenio Nuremberg has been completing the necessary
test runs at the Siemens Mobility Test Center in Wegberg-Wildenrath. Passenger
service is scheduled to start in summer 2022.

On October 22, 2021 the 1000th Vectron locomotive left the
plant at Munich-Allach, where the locomotives are built. The locomotive is
destined for Danish State Railways DSB. To date, Siemens Mobility has sold 1,122
Vectron locomotives to 57 customers in 16 countries. The Vectron fleet has so
far accumulated more than 500 million kilometers in service. The locomotives
based on the Vectron platform are approved for operation in 20 European
countries.
The state of Baden-Württemberg has ordered three Mireo Plus B trains from Siemens Mobility. The battery-electric trains will ensure locally emission-free traffic on the new Hermann-Hesse-Bahn between Renningen and Calw from 2023. Siemens Mobility will additionally take over maintenance of the trains over their entire service life. By being equipped with the latest European Train Control System, the Mireo Plus B trains are equipped for ETCS Level 2 operation. This new standard offers more track capacity, greater punctuality as well as interoperability in cross-border rail traffic. The reorder option became possible as part of a past order for 20 Mireo Plus B for the Ortenau network in 2020.
