Furthermore, Siemens now expects this profitable growth of its industrial businesses to drive an increase in basic EPS from net income before purchase price allocation accounting (EPS pre PPA) to a range of €8.90 to €9.40 (previously expected at €8.70 to €9.20) in fiscal 2023.

• On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue rose 8% and orders declined 8%

• Pilot operation with climate-friendly battery-powered trains
• Record performance of powerful Mireo Plus B on topographically challenging Westerwald route
• Diesel trains to be replaced by eco-friendly battery trains

Hessische Landesbahn has opted for three two-car Mireo Plus B battery trains from Siemens Mobility for their Upper and Lower Westerwald railway pilot project. Both routes in the Westerwald, with demanding gradients and long non-electrified sections, require high-performance trains. With its high drive power, the Mireo Plus B is ideally suited to meet this challenge. Battery-powered trains will achieve substantial CO2 savings and reduce noise levels and exhaust emissions in the region when they replace diesel trains.
