- Siemens' Sitraffic ESCoS roadside unit set to become a new industry standard for V2X technology
Siemens Mobility, Inc. is pleased to announce it has received OmniAir Certification for its Sitraffic ESCoS roadside unit (RSU), the first roadside unit to receive OmniAir's commercial, connected vehicle certification. Siemens' RSU is one of the few RSUs today that meet U.S. Department of Transportation FHWA specification version 4.1. Now with OmniAir's certification, this roadside unit is well-positioned to become the established standard and a key component for V2X device communications today.
- Order for 18 7-car trainsets and 50 power cars
- Delivery to begin in summer 2021
- Power car principle provides maximum flexibility
New trains for growing number of long-distance passengers: Deutsche Bahn (DB) is expanding its fleet and has ordered an additional eighteen 7-car ICE 4 trainsets and 50 more power cars from Siemens Mobility. With these new power cars, 50 ICE 4 trainsets, previously ordered in a 12-car configuration, can be extended to 13 cars. This flexible configuration is made possible by the train’s innovative traction drive technology and its completely new train control system. Delivery of the ordered 7-car trainsets is expected to begin in the summer of 2023. Delivery of the 13-car trainsets will begin after delivery of the 50 12-car trains is completed in 2021. The order has a total value of around €610 million. Bombardier Transportation will supply approximately one-third of the order.
- Metro Automation for Paris' future metro lines 15, 16 and 17 awarded
- The three new lines include 125 kilometers of tracks and 50 stations
- The project entails 12 phased sections and commissioning by 2030
- Most advanced signaling technology to equip 159 passenger trains and 27 work trains
- Associated maintenance services for 30 years
The Société du Grand Paris (SGP), which owns the Grand Paris Express project, awarded the Siemens Mobility and Thales consortium with the delivery of the Automated Train Control system that uses wireless Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) technology and the Operating Control Centers for the future new lines 15, 16 and 17, which will be completed by 2030. Siemens Mobility will design and implement the most advanced generation of its CBTC fully automated technology. It will complete the integration of the entire transportation system. Thales will design and implement the Operating Control Centers (centralized supervision of train traffic, energy systems, auxiliary equipment and digital information systems), as well as trackside equipment and a secure communication network.
- Siemens gas engines generating electrical power from landfill gas to provide energy for approximately 2,000 homes in Idaho
- Two engines convert 1,000 tons of landfill waste daily into energy
- Project marks successful use of Siemens' highly-energy-efficient engines to capture and use methane
Siemens and Southern Idaho Solid Waste (SISW) recently announced the successful commissioning of two SGE-56HM gas engines that are providing environmentally friendly electrical power for a landfill gas-to-energy project at the Milner Butte Landfill in Burley, Idaho. Siemens' gas capture engines are helping to convert 1,000 tons of landfill waste daily into energy but SISW officials expect that amount to increase in the near future.
Siemens Water Solutions received an order for a complete wastewater treatment system for Tianjin Bohua Chemical Development's (a subsidiary of Bohai Chemical Group) new propylene oxide-styrene monomer (POSM) plant. The plant, located at the Nangang Industrial Zone in northern China's Tianjin, will have a production capacity of 200,000 tons per year of propylene oxide (PO) and 450,000 tons per year of styrene monomer (SM).
- Siemens to accelerate investments and growth in Mendix's organic business and verticals, fueling faster go-to-market expansion

- Conformity statement confirms high safety and reliability standards for use in wind turbines
- System can now be used in photovoltaic systems thanks to expanded product family
The DNV GL classification company awarded Siemens the certificate for its busbar trunking system from the Sivacon 8PS product family at the international Wind Energy trade fair in Hamburg. The CS-03832 conformity statement confirms that the LDM system meets high standards of safety and reliability. Especially when it comes to high current intensities, busbar trunking systems are an excellent alternative to classic cable installations. The busbars can be installed in very limited space and ensure high availability and low maintenance. During operation, they feature low fire load and have a PVC and halogen-free design. The systems use solid aluminum as conductors, a material that costs much less than the copper used in cables. It can also easily be recycled after use.
