- Siemens launches study of 1,400 executives globally revealing regional, city and industry insights regarding the infrastructure transition across energy systems, mobility and buildings
- Decarbonization is a top priority within the infrastructure transition, but progress is too slow
- Over 50% of executives believe decarbonization is a competitive advantage, but less than half believe their country has an effective decarbonization strategy
- Technology and digitalization key levers of a successful infrastructure transition
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has released key insights into the divisive nature of the infrastructure transition in a new report, titled “Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2023: The Great Divide on The Path to Net Zero.” Data from the report reveals that there is limited alignment on priorities and how best to progress towards a decarbonized and resource-efficient world. Whilst more than half of people surveyed believe the infrastructure transition is accelerating in their region, a quarter of participants - senior executives from seven major industry groups - said that progress is “too slow”, while 29 percent believe progress is “coordinated”, and 31 percent describe it as “on target”.

Despite the scarcity of applicants in the country’s apprenticeship market, this number has significantly increased compared to the previous year (2022: 1,300; 15 percent increase). For a while now, there has been an imbalance between supply and demand on Germany’s apprenticeship market: At the start of August, more than 220,000 training positions were reported as vacant.

- Presentation of framework agreement with Siemens
Mobility worth €400 Million for further ETCS expansion
- ETCS enables shorter headways and greater reliability
Siemens
Mobility and ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) are digitizing the Austrian rail
network to further enhance the attractiveness of public transport. ÖBB is aiming
to double the capacity of Austria’s entire rail system by 2040 to cope with
increasing passenger numbers. This goal is now a bit closer: The most modern
technology for railway operations – the digital European Train Control System ETCS – has now been implemented and commissioned on the 57-kilometer route
between Linz and Vöcklabruck. The system controls distances between trains, as
well as their direction and speed in real time. This enables the route to carry
more passengers and freight, and ensures that the trains run more reliably,
punctually, and safely.
