Less
diesel, less CO
2, even greener: DB Cargo is renewing its fleet of shunting and
mainline locomotives and is procuring new Vectron Dual Mode dual-power
locomotives from Siemens Mobility. The framework agreement comprises up to 400
vehicles and investment volume corresponds to well over one billion Euros.
The locomotives
of the type Vectron Dual Mode will be delivered with specific adaptations for
the range of applications planned by DB Cargo. The locomotives can be operated
both with diesel and electric power.
In September 2020, DB Cargo ordered 100 locomotives, followed by a second call for another 50 locomotives in January 2022.

- Low-loss transmission of wind
energy for 1.1 million households
- Further contribution toward
decarbonizing energy supplies
Siemens Energy is supplying the
high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) power transmission technology for a further
offshore connection in the German North Sea. A corresponding contract was just
signed by the German-Dutch network operator TenneT and the BorWin5 Offshore
Consortium, consisting of Siemens Energy and Dragados Offshore. In 2025, the
platform BorWin epsilon, which is part of the BorWin5 project, will begin the
low-loss transmission of electricity produced by the EnBW He Dreiht wind farm
off the island of Borkum to the Garrel/Ost converter station around 230
kilometers distant. The transmission capacity of 900 megawatts is calculated to
serve over 1.1 million households with electricity. The project is a further
contribution toward decarbonizing Germany’s energy supply. BorWin5 marks the
seventh HVDC offshore grid connection project undertaken by Siemens Energy in
Germany with TenneT.
