Less
diesel, less CO
2, even greener: DB Cargo is renewing its fleet of shunting and
mainline locomotives and is procuring new Vectron Dual Mode dual-power
locomotives from Siemens Mobility. The framework agreement comprises up to 400
vehicles and investment volume corresponds to well over one billion Euros.
The locomotives
of the type Vectron Dual Mode will be delivered with specific adaptations for
the range of applications planned by DB Cargo. The locomotives can be operated
both with diesel and electric power.
In September 2020, DB Cargo ordered 100 locomotives, followed by a second call for another 50 locomotives in January 2022.

- New services enabled by the Mendix low-code platform enable data-driven decision making in factories and across enterprise data sources
Siemens Digital Industries Software is leveraging the Mendix™ low-code application development platform to help customers across industries build contextual and personalized solutions and help enable data-driven decision-making processes. With the general availability of Mendix Data Hub and new Mendix for Industrial Edge services, Siemens can help customers achieve an end-to-end view of their plants, factories, and systems and provide domain experts with actionable insights through solutions that have been developed with the right data from across the organization. The Mendix platform extends the Xcelerator™ portfolio with the ability to build multi experience apps and share data from any location, on any device, on any cloud or platform, to more quickly realize the benefits of digital transformation.
Every plant or asset is documented in data. All this data and information is scattered across various platforms and various formats. It is not contextualized nor is it easily accessible. It is simply not data you can rely on. That is where PlantSight comes in. PlantSight consolidates the assets of a plant, by bringing together different types of data (1D, 2D, or 3D) from different sources into a single source of truth.

- Important milestone for planned Flender listing
- The two Portfolio Companies’ businesses a perfect fit
- Combined company to strengthen global technology leadership
A major milestone on the way to the planned public listing of Flender in 2021 has been reached. Effective today, Siemens Wind Energy Generation (WG) will be part of Siemens AG’s wholly-owned subsidiary Flender GmbH in Germany and thus perfectly complement Flender’s business portfolio. Flender will expand its market-leading position in gear units through the addition of electro-technical expertise in generators for the wind industry, while WG will benefit, among other things, from Flender’s strong position in the wind power sector. The combined company will be a global technology leader with a competitive cost base and an attractive service business. The two units are part of Siemens’ Portfolio Companies, with around 8,500 employees and pro forma revenue of roughly €2 billion.
