Beginning in 2026, the trains will serve local routes in the eastern part of the country, in particular the main line between Vienna Meidling and Floridsdorf and outer branch lines in Lower Austria.  

• ‘Digirail’ project to modernize Finland’s train control system
• Siemens Mobility selected to equip first phase with European Train Control System Level 2 and Hybrid Train Detection
• Finland's first implementation of the European Train Control System drives rail digitalization

Siemens Mobility will upgrade the first section of Finland's rail network under the Finnish government's "Digirail project", which involves renewing the country's train control system. The contract was recently awarded and includes the installation of the European Train Control System Levels 2 [ETCS L2] and the Hybrid Train Detection [HTD] for the first time in Finland on the 191-kilometer stretch between Lielahti and Rauma-Pori. This marks another milestone in the implementation of Siemens Mobility's latest interlocking and radio block center technology on the new DS3 platform, which is entirely based on commercial-off-the-shelf [COTS] hardware. The new train control system aims to increase the network's capacity, improve punctuality, minimize disruptions, and enhance the safety of operation. It will pave the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and safe railway network and is expected to be in commercial service by 2027.

• First cross-country project in the Middle East and Arab World connecting the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates to Sohar in the Sultanate of Oman; length of 303km
• The Oman section of the network marks the first railway system to be delivered in history of the Sultanate of Oman 

Siemens Mobility, together with its consortium partner Hassan Allam Construction, is honored to announce that it has been awarded the Abu Dhabi – Sohar Design and Build Railway Systems and Integration contract by Oman – Etihad Rail, a joint venture co-owned by the two countries to deliver this network. Siemens Mobility and Hassan Allam Construction will deliver the design, build and integration of the ETCS Level 2 signaling, telecom and power supply systems over the 303-kilometer-long Abu Dhabi – Sohar railway link. The signaling solutions are state-of-the art and desert-proof. This project marks the first-ever cross-country railway network in the Middle East and Arab world.

• Migration to the highest grade of automation (GoA4)
• Delivery of onboard equipment for 226 new trains
• Project will be commissioned in five phases; fully automated by 2033
• Total order volume of approximately 270m Euros

Siemens Mobility will upgrade the entire 170 kilometers long S-bane network in Copenhagen to the highest grade of automation (GoA4 technology) to enable unattended train operations starting with the first phase in 2030. Respective contracts have been signed with Banedanmark (BDK) and DSB recently including the necessary signaling equipment for trains and wayside. GoA4 will allow the operator to run more trains in the entire system, enhance the level of passenger experience, secure the current punctuality rate and will future-proof the network. The new contracts have a total volume of about 270m Euros and build on the original contract from 2011 to equip the Copenhagen S-train network with the Communications-Based Train Control System [CBTC].

• Siemens makes automation easy with the first generative AI-powered product for engineering in an industrial environment
• Siemens Industrial Copilot accelerates the generation of complex automation code, reduces development times, and increases productivity
• TIA Portal connection offers customers SCL code generation, customization of HMI visualization, and document search in natural language
• Available for download from the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace starting in summer 2024

At Hannover Messe 2024, Siemens presents the first generative artificial intelligence (AI) product for engineering in an industrial environment. The Siemens Industrial Copilot, the generative AI-powered assistant, is now seamlessly connected to the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal. This will enable engineering teams to find the right help topic and to generate a basic visualization and code faster for programmable logic controllers (PLC). As a result, they will be able to significantly reduce their workload and offload repetitive tasks to the Siemens Industrial Copilot. In addition, the engineering of complex tasks will become less susceptible to errors. This in turn reduces development times and boosts quality and productivity over the long term. The Siemens Industrial Copilot for TIA Portal Engineering will be available for download from the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace starting in summer 2024.
