- The two companies intend to work together to close gaps in the standardization of inductive charging systems
- Plans include technical collaboration and joint interoperability tests
Siemens and MAHLE intend to collaborate in
the field of inductive charging of electric vehicles. Both companies have
signed a letter of intent to this effect. “Wireless charging of electric
vehicles is emerging as a major market for the future. In addition to making
life considerably easier for drivers, who no longer have to fiddle with cables
and connectors, it is a crucial requirement for the autonomous mobility of
tomorrow. The transfer efficiency of wireless, inductive charging is comparable
to plug-in systems,” said Stefan Perras, Head of Pre-development and Innovation
for Charging Infrastructure at Siemens AG.
- Smart Infrastructure completes acquisition of Brightly, a leader in
cloud-based asset and maintenance management software
- Acquisition puts Siemens in pole position to address fast-growing software
market for buildings and built infrastructure
Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI), the frontrunner in digital buildings, has
completed the acquisition of Brightly Software, a leading U.S.-based software-as-a-service
(SaaS) provider of asset and maintenance management solutions. The acquisition elevates
SI to a leading position in the software market for buildings and built
infrastructure. It adds Brightly’s well-established cloud-based capabilities across
key sectors – education, public infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing –
to Siemens’ digital and software know-how in buildings. Brightly’s addition to
the Siemens portfolio accelerates the build-up of SI’s SaaS business, enabling
the companies to deliver superior performance and sustainability for built
infrastructure.

- Latin America’s first fully automated metro line (GoA 4)
- Siemens Mobility digitalized CBTC technology installed across entire 15 km of track,11 stations, and 29 trains
- Automated signaling provides greater availability, enhanced operations, and passenger experience
ViaQuatro has successfully begun full operation of São Paulo’s entire Metro Line 4 with Siemens Mobility’s Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling. Since its first stretch opened in 2010, it has been the first fully automated metro line in South America that can operate with GoA 4, the highest grade of automation that allows trains to be automatically controlled and operated. The digitalized and optimized system allows for a more efficient and centralized control of operations, while also increasing the safety, availability, and capacity across the entire network.
- Siemens Mobility delivers Vectron AC locomotives
- Contract includes maintenance for eight years
Reichmuth & Co Investment Management AG has ordered 35 Vectron AC locomotives from Siemens Mobility through its investment vehicle LokRoll 3 AG. LokRoll 3 will lease the locomotives to SBB Cargo for eight years through its asset manager Northrail GmbH, which it commissioned for the deal. The entire transaction was arranged and structured by Paribus Rail Investment Management GmbH. The lease also includes local maintenance of the locomotives by Siemens Mobility for eight years. The Vectrons will be manufactured at the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach and delivered in 2024.
- RDG200 thermostat now equipped with a built-in CO2 sensor for monitoring and controlling indoor air quality
- Helps provide a healthy indoor climate and a safe place to work
- Achieves high energy efficiency and reduced energy costs
Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s RDG200 thermostat series now offers a model that is
natively equipped with a CO2
sensor and control functions. They allow the indoor air quality to be monitored
and adjusted to ensure a healthy and productive indoor air climate at all times
for people in the building, while maintaining efficient operation. When the air
quality deteriorates because the CO2 concentration rises, the ventilation system
is automatically adjusted and ensures that the right amount of fresh air is
provided to the space.
- California-based Esri, pioneer in geographic information system software
- Geodata combined with Siemens´ modeling and simulation software boosts creation of holistic digital twin of the grid for planning, simulation and real-time operations to accelerate the energy transition
- Complementary product partners are part of the Siemens Xcelerator ever-growing ecosystem of partners to accelerate digital transformation
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has partnered with Esri, the global leader
in geographic information systems (GIS) and location intelligence, to expand
its ecosystem of partners for its grid software business. The partnership
enhances capabilities for the planning, operations and maintenance of power
networks at grid operators by combining Esri’s powerful mapping and spatial
analytics software and Siemens’ electrical topology expertise. In doing so, the
companies aim to upgrade the data flow between applications for increased
planning accuracy and for better operations of the distribution grid. The
partnership´s objective is to improve the admission of Distributed Energy
Resources (DER) to the grid so that net zero can be achieved faster.
- First order for multisystem locomotives with XLoad equipment package
- XLoad enables significantly higher trailer loads
- Contract includes locomotives and their maintenance
Switzerland’s SBB Cargo International AG, in cooperation with SüdLeasing GmbH, has ordered 20 Vectron multisystem locomotives equipped with the XLoad package from Siemens Mobility. SBB Cargo International will lease the locomotives from SüdLeasing under a long-term rental plan with a flexible term. The contract also includes maintenance of the locomotives by Siemens Mobility. Vectron XLoad is an equipment package developed to improve traction performance and increase trailer loads. With this XLoad option, for example, operators on the North-South Corridor will be able to use only one rather than two four-axle locomotives for a train. The Vectrons are designed for a maximum operating speed of 160 km/h. The locomotives will be delivered beginning in 2024.
- Frame sizes 1,200 A, 1,600 A and 2,000 A
- Enhanced safety features
- Fully integrated communication and measurement features
- Smart features for planning and operation
Siemens has developed new, highly flexible
molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) frame sizes for high current applications to
perfectly address the needs of switchgear manufacturers and panel builders in
an environment, characterized by increasing complexity, digitalization, and
cost pressures. The new 3VA UL Large Frame MCCBs enable users to implement
powerful, safe, and smart systems while allowing them to improve and greatly
simplify their work processes. These 3VA UL Large Frame
MCCBs can be used worldwide. The 1,200 A and 1,600 A frame sizes meet the
requirements of IEC and UL standards. This is particularly advantageous for
manufacturers who are producing systems destined for global markets. The new 2,000
A frame is designed exclusively for the UL market. The new frame sizes will be available
in both thermal-magnetic and electronic trip unit versions. Molded case switch (MCS)
variants will also be offered.
