- Snälltåget
implements Sqills S3 Passenger from Sqills, a subsidiary of Siemens Mobility
- Implementation
to support with longest night train route in the EU
- Increased
capacity, improved passenger experience
Swedish open-access rail operator Snälltåget has announced
that it will be implementing S3 Passenger, the dynamic pricing, inventory management,
and reservation system offered by Sqills, a Siemens Mobility
subsidiary. Snälltåget
and Sqills have opted for a phased approach in terms of
implementation: The Swedish operator will benefit from a short time-to-market
while adding more functionalities in the months after go-live. One feature that
Snälltåget will be using from the start is the support for cross-operator
cooperation as a way for providing through tickets. This will further improve
passenger comfort when booking long-
distance trips. S3 Passenger is based on the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and is part of the open, digital business
platform, Siemens Xcelerator, that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier,
faster and at scale.

- Framework agreement for 100 Vectron locomotives for maximum operational flexibility
- First call for 70 locomotives
- Vectron from Siemens Mobility connects Europe, enabling cross-border transport without changing locomotives
Railpool, one of the leading rail vehicle rental companies in Europe, and Siemens Mobility signed a framework agreement at the turn of the year for the delivery of 100 locomotives. The first call for 70 locomotives was placed at the signing of the contract. The various locomotive variants will be used on different European rail corridors (north-south and east-west) and can be operated in up to 18 countries.

- Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) signed
- Siemens Mobility and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for Renewable Energy agree on joint research for the use of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology in rail transport
The
use of hydrogen technology in rail transport is becoming increasingly important
as a solution for reducing CO2emissions and helping to meet climate
targets. In recent years, Siemens Mobility has developed a hydrogen-powered
train, the Mireo Plus H. In this technology, hydrogen is tanked in gas form and
must be kept under high pressure in order to achieve the required high density.
