- Orders rose 22 percent on a comparable basis to €21.0 billion (Q2 2021: €15.9 billion), with high growth rates at all industrial businesses
- At €17.0 billion, revenue increased 7 percent on a comparable basis (Q2 2021: €14.7 billion)
- Profit Industrial Business was €1.8 billion (Q2 2021: €2.0 billion) – due to impacts totaling €0.6 billion, mainly at Mobility, subsequent to sanctions imposed on Russia
- Net income was €1.2 billion (Q2 2021: €2.4 billion)
- Free cash flow for the Siemens Group increased to €1.3 billion and was thus even stronger than in the prior-year quarter (Q2 2021: €1.2 billion)
- Orderly wind down of industrial business activities initiated in order to exit the Russian market
Siemens continued
its growth path as a focused technology company also in Q2 (ended March 31,
2022). In Q2, the company leveraged increased growth opportunities in many key markets
despite a continuing complex macroeconomic environment and confirms its outlook
for the Siemens Group for the current fiscal year 2022. The impact on
profit in Q2 subsequent to sanctions imposed on Russia totaled €0.6 billion due
to impairments and other charges, mainly at Mobility. Siemens also initiated an orderly
wind down of its industrial business activities in order to exit the Russian
market.

- Predictive Service Analyzer provides information about anomalies in the drive system
- Increased plant availability by up to 30 percent through reduced production downtime
- AI-based algorithm for drive systems
As part of Predictive
Services for Drive Systems, Siemens is expanding its offering at the Hannover
Messe with an edge application. The Predictive Service Analyzer indicates
defects in the drive system at an early stage before they affect the entire
production. As a result, unplanned production downtime can be avoided and
maintenance times can be scheduled in good time, increasing plant availability
by up to 30 percent. By scheduling maintenance and servicing activities based
on actual demand, this increases productivity by up to 10 percent. The Predictive
Service Analyzer's AI-based solution detects early signs of anomalies, such as
those indicating mechanical damage in the motor, including bearing damage,
imbalance, and misalignment, as well as critical operating conditions of the
frequency converter. The app assesses the severity of the defect and the
expected remaining runtime and can thus predict potential future failures.
- Siemens will deliver energy efficiency improvement measures to immediately cut 10 percent of the University’s carbon emissions
- Subsequent project phases will see on-site, low-carbon energy production, and the installation of renewable generation infrastructure
- Partnership will create an inclusive talent pipeline for the green economy, and a ‘living lab’ for teaching and research
The University of East London (UEL) in the
United Kingdom has established a strategic partnership with Siemens to collaborate
on their aspiration of achieving net-zero carbon by 2030. Siemens will deliver
improvement measures to reduce overall energy use, and engineer solutions to drive
the shift to renewable and on-site low-carbon energy generation at UEL’s
campuses in the London Docklands and Stratford.
- Siemens to enable attendees at IoT Solutions World Congress to experience benefits of latest IoT technologies in 27 practical reference cases

Siemens is bringing its latest IoT breakthroughs
to the IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) in Barcelona: helping businesses to
simplify and accelerate their digital transformation and transition to greater
sustainability at scale, the focused technology company will show a total 27
practical reference cases. At the same time, the company is empowering its
customers to achieve their desired business outcomes – including sustainable growth,
increased efficiency and faster time-to-market by combining the real and the
digital worlds unlike any other. Visitors to the Siemens booth (D467, Hall 4,
Fira Convetion Center) at IOTSWC will have the opportunity to see how this
transformative process is developing and then experiment with new capabilities.
- Siemens and Halske purchased first plot of land for today’s Siemensstadt 125 years ago
- Digital twin makes planning, construction and operation of new urban district smart and sustainable
- Relaunch of Siemensbahn rail line on schedule: planning underway, integration of public to begin; line to be “back on the Ring” starting in 2029
Steeped in tradition and moving into the future: On May 7, 1897, Siemens & Halske acquired the first plot of land in Spandau at the location where Siemensstadt, which translates to “Siemens City,” was soon to be built. Now, 125 years later, an inclusive and sustainable future-oriented location will be created on the same site. To get this location ready for the future, two new manufacturing hubs are being built on the site. For the first time, a holistic digital twin will be used to plan, build and operate the overall district. In addition, the relaunch of the Siemensbahn (“Siemens Railway”) light-rail line is on schedule. Beginning in 2029, people will be able to reach the new section of Berlin in a climate-friendly, convenient manner using the “S-Bahn” rapid- transit system. Franziska Giffey, governing mayor of Berlin; Cedrik Neike, a member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens’ Digital Industries unit; and Alexander Kaczmarek, Representative of Deutsche Bahn AG for Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, were on hand to mark the important milestone for the new city district.
- Open, interoperable software suite ensures grid stability and economic efficiency, manages rising complexity of power grids
- Software speeds up grid simulations up to 6 times and increases efficiency in grid management tasks by 85 percent
- Holistic digital twin of the grid throughout planning, simulation and real-time operation of power grids
- Launch of customer co-innovation collaboration to guide product roadmaps for net zero world
In an
industry first, Siemens Smart Infrastructure announced an open, modular suite
of grid software to address the increasingly critical energy transition. The suite
is a game changer for established energy players and new stakeholders alike,
enabling them to be fast, agile and flexible when coping with existing and
future challenges. Siemens has already made significant steps to improve its offering
for smart meter data management such as a cloud native option or improved task efficiency by up to 85
percent by redefining the user experience. Siemens’ software also
enables customers to run grid protection simulations up to six times faster
than the current speed of execution, supporting utilities to better plan,
operate and maintain power networks. All upcoming modules of the software suite
from Siemens will be developed following specific design principles to interact
seamlessly and enable agility. At the same time, they will keep the power grid
cyber resilient while also creating a digital twin of the grid throughout
planning, simulation, real-time operations and maintenance of power grids.
- “H2goesRail” joint project developing a completely new overall hydrogen system for rail
- First roll-out of the Mireo Plus H hydrogen train from Siemens Mobility and the hydrogen storage tank trailer for fast mobile refueling by Deutsche Bahn
- “H2goesRail” project an important step for exiting from diesel and advancing climate-friendly transportation transition
Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Siemens Mobility are continuing to drive the climate-friendly transportation transition in rail. The two partners premiered elements of their innovative complete system at the Siemens plant in Krefeld: The newly developed Mireo Plus H, the next-generation hydrogen-powered train, and a newly designed mobile hydrogen storage trailer. The train and its new infrastructure are intended to replace diesel multiple-unit trains in commuter and regional transport and reduce rail-related CO2 emissions to zero.
- Siemens Mobility to provide seven Mireo Plus B trains to Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark
- An innovative and energy-efficient hybrid battery powered platform that can operate with or without overhead lines
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract to supply seven battery powered Mireo Plus B trains to the Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark. This is the first contract for battery powered rail in Denmark and is part of a pilot project to replace all diesel trainsets throughout the country. The Mireo Plus B combines all the benefits of the Mireo platform with a high-performance battery system that enables trains to operate on routes with or without overhead power lines thanks to their battery hybrid drive. The seven two-car electric trainsets will be delivered by the end of 2024 and are scheduled to operate on two lines in the Midtjylland region of Denmark.
