In May 2011, the German national railway company concluded a framework agreement with Siemens Mobility for up to 300 trainsets. At this time the largest train contract that Siemens has ever won in its corporate history.The ICE 4 sets new standards in intercity traffic. A unique train concept has been developed, that means it can be individually adapted to the requirements of various transport tasks. The modular drive concept is based on independent Powercars with identical traction technology, resulting in more flexibility than ever before. High operational availability is guaranteed by a large number of reliable systems with high redundancy.All in all, DB will be receiving 1,511 cars with which it can configure 50 12-car, 50 13-car and 37 7-car trainsets. In addition, Deutsche Bahn has awarded Siemens Mobility a contract for the revision of 40 ICE 4 trains.

Shifting freight transport to rail has its limitations. Therefore, a share of this transport will need to be carried out by trucks that combine reliable service with minimum environmental impact. The eHighway system is twice as efficient as conventional internal combustion engines. This Siemens Mobility innovation supplies trucks with power from an overhead contact line. This reduces local air pollution and contributes significantly to the decarbonization of the transport sector.

- 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.
