Siemens announced today that it has started a 15-year technical support and spare parts supply agreement with the U.S. passenger rail operator Amtrak for its 70 new Siemens ACS-64 electric locomotives in operation on the Northeast Corridor. This is Siemens' largest technical support contract for passenger locomotives to-date in the U.S. In 2010, Amtrak ordered 70 Amtrak Cities Sprinter electric locomotives from Siemens. The first locomotives are already in passenger service.
HTM (Haagsche Tramweg-Maatschappij) has ordered 40 trams from Siemens for the network of the city of The Hague. They are intended to replace part of the existing high-floor vehicles of type GTL 8. In March 2014, HTM ordered other 20 Avenio trams.
On November 2, 2015, the Dutch tram operator HTM, started the passenger services with brand new Siemens trams in The Hague, Netherlands. The first Avenio will run on line 2.
