- Order for 20 Vectron MS locomotives including full service
- Deployment by SBB Cargo International on the Rhine-Alpine Corridor
- Option for 20 additional locomotives
Switzerland's SBB Cargo International AG has ordered 20 Vectron MS locomotives from Siemens Mobility in cooperation with SüdLeasing GmbH. The locomotives will be leased by SBB Cargo International to SüdLeasing through a long-term leasing plan with a flexible term. In addition, SBB Cargo International has acquired an option for 20 additional locomotives from Siemens Mobility.
- Manufacturers, operator and Federal Railway Authority agree on reworking concept
- Deutsche Bahn to begin immediately with acceptance and placing in service
- Reworking will be carried out during ongoing operation as part of the warranty of Bombardier Transportation
Deutsche Bahn will resume acceptance of further ICE 4 trains with immediate effect. Siemens Mobility and Bombardier Transportation have reached an agreement with Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) on a reworking and testing concept for welds that were occasionally not executed in the specified quality on ICE 4 body shells. Since these deviations do not preclude safe operation, the affected cars can be used in passenger service. As a result of this agreement, five ICE 4 trains will be accepted by DB in the coming days and enter service. At that point, the customer will have 30 ICE 4 trains available. Subsequently, DB will continue receiving ICE 4 trains as planned and immediately place them in service.
- Innovation
campus for attracting high-tech companies
- Hydrogen
research laboratory with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
- Investments
to total around €30 million, roughly 100 new jobs
Siemens, the
Free State of Saxony and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft signed a memorandum of
understanding today in Görlitz, Germany, to strengthen this location over the
long term and support the structural transformation of Germany’s Lusatia region.
Plans call for establishing an innovation campus and a startup accelerator on the
site of Siemens’ plant in Görlitz. The aim is to encourage other technology and
industrial companies as well as startups and research institutes to establish
operations in this region. The focus of activity will be on digitalization,
automation, energy technology and innovative material and production
technologies.
Siemens will provide MODEC with three 34-megawatt (MW) SGT-A35 gas turbine power generation packages that will power MODEC's floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The vessel, referred to as the "Eni Mexico Area 1 FPSO," will be deployed in the Offshore Area 1 approximately 6 miles (10 kilometers) off the coast of Mexico at a water depth of approximately 105 feet (32 meters). The field is owned by a consortium of two companies including Eni Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Eni Mexico") as operator and Qatar Petroleum.
- F-class
gas turbines, steam turbine, generators, and main transformers
- Power Diagnostics Services for optimized performance
- Power supply for more than three million Iraqis
Siemens has received an order to supply the key components and long-term power generation services for the 840-megawatt (MW) Maisan combined cycle power plant in Iraq. CITIC Construction Co., Ltd., the Chinese engineering procurement and construction firm building the plant, and Iraqi developer MPC, part of Raban Al-Safina for Energy Projects (RASEP) awarded the contract valued at more than EUR 280 million to Siemens. The independent power project is expected to deliver first power by March 2021 and enter full combined cycle mode by early 2022. The plant will supply sufficient electricity to meet the needs of more than three million Iraqis, while also supporting the industrial sector.
- SWM and MVG order additional Avenio trams
- Order volume more than €200 million
- Deliveries to begin in 2021
Stadtwerke München (SWM) have ordered 73 additional Avenio trams worth more than €200 million from Siemens Mobility. The municipally owned company is thus drawing existing options. The trams will supplement those of the same type already in service in the city. Delivery of the first vehicles is planned for 2021.
In September 2012, Munich city utility company (SWM) was the first customer to order the new Avenio for the light rail network of the MVG (Munich transport company). In the meantime, SWM has continually expanded its Avenio fleet.
- Compact device providing combined functionality for measurement, monitoring and data transmission
- Separate detection of energy consumption and energy recovery
- Operating hour and switching cycle counters enable preventive maintenance
- Commissioning, measured values and status information via Profinet
Siemens has just launched its SIRIUS 3UG546 DC load monitoring relay on the market. The new device is the most compact of its kind for direct current (DC) applications, enabling simple and precise power measurement. The SIRIUS 3UG546 is unique in our industry: It is the first and only DC load monitoring relay to combine current and voltage measurement, power monitoring, communication and various other useful functions in one single, compact device. Until now, several individual components were required for each of these functions. The innovative new approach saves space and costs.
