- Siemens Mobility’s digital ecosystem
approach, allowing data from different sources to be integrated via APIs, leads
to more capacity and energy reduction
- Innovation
within train procurement: Mireo Smart and Smart Train Lease
- Presenting
the high-speed train Velaro for Egypt
- Siemens Mobility is showcasing its innovations
and solutions in hub27 at booth 230 and in the outdoor exhibition area
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.
- Stadtwerke Stuttgart headquarters serves as lighthouse project for state-of-the-art building and energy management systems
- Represents optimal ‘sector coupling’ showcase, using Siemens Xcelerator applications to intelligently connect buildings and transport to renewable energy sources
- Supports Stuttgart in achieving climate neutral targets, setting example to other cities worldwide in sustainable urban transformation
Siemens
Smart Infrastructure and publicly
owned energy supplier Stadtwerke Stuttgart GmbH, have announced their partnership to
help drive the transition to sustainable urban energy across the city.
- 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.
- Siemens’ open and interoperable Electrification X portfolio complemented with asset and service lifecycle management software from IFS
- Powerful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution ensures uptime of critical electrical substation assets and offers last mile transparency, optimization, and automation of critical network operational activities
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has expanded
its Siemens Xcelerator partner ecosystem with the addition of the AI-driven
field service and asset management suite from IFS, the world’s leading provider
of industrial AI and enterprise software for companies that manage complex
assets, operations, and service focused activities.
- Berlin as a pioneer: World’s first installation
of an obstacle detection system on an S-Bahn in daily operation
- Installation and practical testing of an
innovative obstacle detection system in the latest 484 series S-Bahn train
conducted by Siemens Mobility with
S-Bahn Berlin and the Digital Rail Germany (DSD) initiative
- Goal: Develop assistance system for accident
prevention and driverless operation at low speeds
Automated operation is a key function for expanding
rail capacity and strengthening the performance of railways. Working together
with S-Bahn Berlin, Siemens Mobility has installed and will be testing an
obstacle detection system – a key technology component for enabling fully
automated driving – for the first time during regular daily operation.
- Located in Chennai, the new facility reflects Siemens commitment to
support the growing Data Center market in Asia Pacific

Centers in The Hague, Netherlands and in North Carolina, US
Siemens today inaugurated a new Center of Competence for Data Centers at the Global Infocity Park in Chennai, India.
- U5 and U8 metro lines to receive modern
Trainguard MT train control system for semi-automated (GoA2) operation
- With CBTC, headways can be shortened, and line capacity increased
by up to 30%; conversion to be completed by 2032 during ongoing operations
Siemens
Mobility has won the tender from Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe [BVG] and will
introduce a Communications-Based Train Control System [CBTC] on the U5 and U8
metro lines in Berlin for the first time. The state-of-the-art Trainguard MT CBTC
solution will enable semi-automated operation (GoA2: Grade of Automation) on
the U5 line by 2029 and on the U8 line by 2032, increasing capacity on these
lines by around 30%. Technically speaking, CBTC technology even allows headways
of less than 100 seconds. This technological advance will also significantly
improve the reliability and punctuality of the two metro lines. Siemens
Mobility will carry out the conversion during ongoing operations so that trains
on both lines of Germany’s largest metro system can continue to run
uninterrupted throughout the entire project. The contract has a volume of
approximately 200 million euros, plus additional long-term technology
maintenance contracts.
