- Presentation of the first Velaro high-speed
train for Egypt to the Egyptian Minister of Transport
- Train production for the Egyptian high-speed
rail system in full swing
- New 2,000km long high-speed rail network progressing
Siemens Mobility unveiled its first Velaro high-speed train
for the 2,000km turnkey rail system in Egypt at InnoTrans, the world’s leading
international trade fair for transport in Berlin. The train is specifically
designed to withstand the climatic and sandy conditions of Egypt and was presented
to Kamel Al-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister of Egypt, Industry and Trade Minister,
and Transportation Minister, and his delegation, in the presence of the German
Federal Minister of Transport, Mr. Volker Wissing and Siemens AG CEO, Roland
Busch. The train is the first of the 41 Velaro trains manufactured for the
multibillion-dollar turnkey project, a Consortium between Siemens Mobility,
Orascom Construction, and The Arab Contractors.

Digitalization is a key enabler to reduce emissions and to
deliver the capacity to match a doubling of passenger demand by 2050. By
providing 100% system availability, maximizing the use of existing
infrastructure, and software solutions for seamless door-to-door travel, rail
can become the transport of choice in the future. However, one of the biggest
barriers to a full adoption of digitalization is vast quantities of data being
locked in single systems. Accessing this data via standardized application programming
interfaces (APIs) and connecting them with other systems and services in the
rail ecosystem with the support of AI-driven analysis and evaluation tools is
the key for more efficient rail operations.
- Positions DSB for
modernization with a more dynamic and customer-focused approach
- S3 Passenger
empowers DSB to optimize capacity and demand management and enhance passenger
communications
- Long-term
partnership with a 12-year contract
The Danish State Railways (DSB)
announced it selected S3 Passenger to replace DSB’s legacy inventory management
system for all its mainline services. S3 Passenger is developed by Siemens
Mobility subsidiary Sqills, and it is considered the industry-leading dynamic
pricing, inventory management, and reservation system. DSB signed a 12-year
contract that can be extended by another 12 years. DSB is the third public
transport operator on the Scandinavian market that uses S3 Passenger, and it is
one with a rich history dating back more than a century. DSB was founded in
1885 with the merger of two state-owned railway operators.

and Aerospace Workers (IAM)
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Brightline West and Siemens Mobility
announced today that Horseheads, New York will become home to North America’s
first high-speed rail production facility. The first-of-its-kind facility in the United States
will produce America’s first high-speed trains, the American Pioneer 220, which will
operate on Brightline West’s Las Vegas to Southern California line. Selected for its
skilled workforce, industrial history and ability to best meet the needs of Brightline
West, Horseheads is located in the southern tier of New York state. Production at
the facility is expected to begin in 2026.
- Overall contract from Ruhrbahn GmbH for renewing
control and safety technology by 2031
- Relay interlockings in Essen and Mülheim an der
Ruhr, Germany, will be replaced by electronic interlockings
- Total investment worth around €180 million
Siemens
Mobility and Ruhrbahn GmbH will digitalize control and safety technology dating
from the 1970s in Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr by 2031 to ensure the system is
fit for the future. The contract, worth around €180 million, was signed
recently by the partners and includes digitalizing Europe’s largest light rail
interlocking system at Essen Central Station. The modernization will make the interlocking
system more reliable and energy efficient. Sixty percent of the costs for the
renewal of the interlockings will be funded by the municipal rail renewal
program with state and federal funds; the funding is currently expected to
total around €96 million.

Siemens
Xcelerator’s unveiling at InnoTrans 2022 signaled the advent of a truly open
ecosystem for seamless digital collaboration. At InnoTrans 2024, Siemens
Mobility will showcase the rail industry’s huge potential to reduce society’s
overall carbon footprint, with digitalization as a key enabler. This includes optimizing
maintenance, maximizing the use of existing infrastructure, and providing
solutions for seamless travel. One of the biggest barriers to a full-hearted
adoption of digitalization, however, is vast quantities of data locked in
closed systems. The answer lies in accessing these data via standardized
application programming interfaces (APIs) and connecting them with AI-driven
analysis and evaluation tools. As a leading provider of technology, Siemens
Mobility has identified around 100 APIs within the rail ecosystem and has already
fully developed a dozen of them.
- Contract for
locomotives includes their maintenance for 15 years
- XLoad increases
hauling capability for Vectron locomotive
- Operating
approval for Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Italy
The Swiss company SBB
Cargo International AG, in cooperation with Südleasing GmbH, has ordered an
additional 20 Vectron multi-system locomotives equipped with the XLoad package.
The locomotives will be leased by SBB Cargo International from SüdLeasing in a
long-term contract with a flexible term. The contract also includes maintenance
of the locomotives by Siemens Mobility for 15 years. The Vectron XLoad package
improves the locomotive’s traction capability in order to increase its hauling
capacity and efficiency. Among other advantages, XLoad enables heavier trains
to be run in single traction on the Swiss north-south axis, eliminating the
need for a second four-axle booster locomotive. The Vectron locomotives have a
maximum speed of 160 km/h.
