- Second fleet order for Siemens Mobility’s Mireo Plus H
- Emission-free rail transport using hydrogen technology on the Mühldorf (Upper Bavaria)
- Presentation of the innovative hydrogen train design for Südostbayernbahn
Siemens Mobility has started production of the hydrogen-powered trains that will begin operating on the Südostbayernbahn network in late 2026. The order is for three 2-car Mireo Plus H trains. Ordered by the state of Bavaria, the ultra-modern hydrogen trains will replace diesel trains currently operating from the network’s Mühldorf hub and significantly reduce CO2 emissions as well as noise and exhaust gas in the region. The new trains will feature nine spaces for bicycles, special high-frequency-permeable windows for improved mobile phone reception, and comfortable car access thanks to their low-floor design. Equipped with the European Train Control System (ETCS), the Mireo Plus H ensures maximum operational safety and efficiency. Along with the series contract, Siemens Mobility was also awarded a service contract for the trains’ hydrogen supply system.
The hydrogen trains will serve eight stations on the Mühldorf (Upper Bavaria) – Tüßling – Burghausen non-electrified route, which is 32.3 kilometers long. Deutsche Bahn (DB) will build an electrolysis plant in Mühldorf that will be 100-percent powered by green electricity.
- New automation platform for virtual product configuration with Siemens’ Teamcenter® and NX™ software will be available on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace
- Collaboration enables development of future-proof machine concepts for modern production processes
- Machine builders benefit from reduced time-to-market, improved product quality, and enhanced maintainability of control software
Together
with Koenig & Bauer, a global printing press manufacturer, technology
company Siemens will accelerate development and commissioning processes for printing
presses with a new machine automation platform. The standardized and modular
automation platform enables machine building customers to create predictive
maintenance models and performance dashboards for individual machine
components. The companies are working together to help machine builders find
their optimal machine configuration using a digital twin with Siemens’
Teamcenter® software for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Siemens NX™ software for product design and engineering. This helps
them to create and maintain an accurate and synchronized virtual representation
of their machine.
- Canadian aerospace company to replace legacy systems with Siemens’ NX and Capital software to streamline engineering and reduce program cycle time
Siemens Digital Industries Software
announced today that Bombardier,
a global leader in aviation, focused on designing,
manufacturing and servicing business jets and specialized
mission platforms, has expanded its adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio of industry software for aircraft development to streamline its product
engineering processes to meet the challenges of modern aerospace design and push
the boundaries of innovation.

customers
- Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud: Continuous monitoring and AI algorithms generate
specific efficiency measures
- Cloud-based approach enables optimization of energy efficiency of drives
across multiple sites
- Siemens Industrial Copilot for operations: Drive train support for users
Industrial companies are under increasing pressure to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. A major energy consumer in industry is the drive train, which consists of variable speed drives, motors, pumps, and other components. Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud, a powerful solution from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, helps companies significantly reduce the energy consumption of their drive systems through energy-based maintenance.
- Acquisition expands Siemens’ offering in PCB design for the SMB market and enables greater process coverage, from design to manufacturing preparation
Siemens Digital Industries Software
announced today that it has completed the acquisition of DownStream
Technologies, a leading provider of manufacturing data

- Ecosystem for the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing from large industry, SMEs, research, and the state government
- Significant funding from the Bavarian State Government
- Expansion of the Advanced Manufacturing Hub Garching with co-location of industry and research
- Congress on "Next Generation Manufacturing" on October 23/24 in Garching
- Along with other partners, Siemens is a founding member
With Bavaria Makes e.V. (in formation), a
strong ecosystem for the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing (AM) is
being created in Bavaria in Germany. The association, consisting of large
companies, medium-sized businesses, universities, research institutions, and
the innovation agency of Bavaria with Bayern Innovativ, aims to make Bavaria a
globally leading high-tech location for Additive Manufacturing within 10 years.
In Additive Manufacturing, components are built up layer by layer and are not
produced by material removal like in conventional processes. This enables great
flexibility and design freedom, opening up unprecedented possibilities for research
and industry. Currently, applications are being developed or already in use for
numerous industries such as medical, energy, aerospace & defense,
semiconductor, tool making, automotive, and railway industry.
- Siemens and O₂ Telefónica Germany launch the first fully integrated connectivity solution based on 5G network slicing, designed for Siemens' automation applications
- The product is available for water utilities and wastewater treatment companies in Germany
- A pilot customer from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is already testing the new solution
The technology company Siemens and the telecommunications provider
O₂ Telefónica are launching a partnership in Germany to advance the
networking of the water industry with a new connectivity solution for
customized 5G mobile networks. The solution will be marketed by Siemens to thousands
of water and wastewater utilities in Germany. Unlike the manufacturing industry
with its local private 5G campus networks, the water industry's facilities are
widely distributed and need to be connected over long distances.
