- New design
for better orientation
- Free tate
of Bavaria invests over two billion euros in new trains
- First trains will be delivered at the end of 2028
At InnoTrans, the international trade fair
for transport in Berlin, Bavarian Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter today
presented the exterior design for the new Munich S-Bahn trains. Heiko Büttner,
DB Group Representative for the Free State of Bavaria and CEO of S-Bahn München,
together with Karl Blaim, Managing Director and CFO of Siemens Mobility,
reported on the progress of the project. The first of a total of 90 new trains
from manufacturer Siemens Mobility are to be delivered successively beginning
at the end of 2028. The exterior design of the new S-Bahn vehicles is based on
a modern diamond pattern and the colours white and ‘Bahnland Bayern’ blue. Bavarian Transport Minister
Christian Bernreiter: “In future, the new Munich S-Bahn trains will show
who is behind them: the Free State of Bavaria, which is investing more than two
billion euros in this project. It is therefore only logical that the most
modern S-Bahn trains in Germany will be travelling in the design of our local
transport brand. But it's not just about new colours, because the exterior
design of the S-Bahn trains will also make it as easy as possible for
passengers to find their way around in future.”
- The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft commissions a research factory for battery cells with a capacity of up to 200 MWh in Münster, Germany
- Testing, implementation, and optimization of near-series production under real conditions of battery cells – for the automotive industry, among others
- Siemens is a production and building technology partner in this ecosystem
According to a study by
the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research [Fraunhofer ISI],
battery production capacity in Europe alone will quadruple by 2025 from 124
gigawatt hours in 2022 to over 500 gigawatt hours. By 2030, this figure is expected
to increase tenfold to up to 1.5 terawatt hours.
- Communications-based Train Control
(CBTC) Signaling system and Platform Screen Doors (PSD) to be provided on for
Cross Island Line in Singapore
- The intelligent infrastructure will
provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and will improve passenger
experience
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract
by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to provide a signaling system
(CBTC) and full-height platform screen doors (PSD) for the Cross Island Line
(CRL). The order is worth approximately €310 million.
Under the motto "Let's advance Manufacturing", Siemens will demonstrate how a well-established ecosystem of partners as well as digitalization and automation are helping to make additive manufacturing an enabler for innovation in industrial applications and industries. For this purpose, the company hosts numerous partners at its own booth. Find out first-hand how Siemens is working with these partners along the entire value chain to navigate industrial applications and industries towards successful industrialization and visit us at Formnext in Hall 12.1 | D101 in Frankfurt.
- Siemens industrializes additive manufacturing with polymers with EOS and DyeMansion as partners
- Siemens and EOS support Hexr in the mass customization of additively manufactured bicycle helmets
- Digital Enterprise portfolio offers integrated software and automation solutions for the industrialization of additive manufacturing
- Additive Manufacturing Network – an online order-to-delivery collaboration platform for the industrial additive manufacturing community, helps streamline the AM production process
Siemens' Digital Enterprise portfolio consists of software and automation solutions that optimize process steps along the entire value chain of additive manufacturing. This holistic approach is unique in the field of the industrialization of additive manufacturing. "The automated chain of coordinated production steps from all suppliers, from design and printing to post-processing, as well as end-to-end IT integration, is crucial for high productivity and maximum flexibility. This applies to series parts as well as to a highly flexible lot-size-1 production for individualized products or spare parts," explains Dr. Karsten Heuser, Vice President Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Digital Industries.
- Siemens exhibition at ISH 2023 introduces IoT-based smart building solutions which marks a major shift for sustainable operations
- Addressing simple small buildings as well as complex campuses

- ETH Zurich runs unique research project on automation and energy supply for buildings in different climate zones
- Project includes one-of-a-kind artificial sun
- Siemens supplies digital building technologies, part of Siemens Xcelerator, for lab
ETH Zurich,
one of the world’s most renowned universities, has just opened a unique
research facility: the Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab. It allows research
into the behavior of building components and systems in different climate
zones. The new building, located on the university campus in Zurich, comprises
two floors with different test cells, climate chambers, and experimentation
rooms. As part of its existing industrial partnership with ETH Zurich, Siemens
has equipped the new research facility with state-of-the-art digital building technologies,
including for building operations and management. The technologies are part of
the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
- Signaling
X opens interfaces and integrates
signaling and control systems for mainline and mass transit into one cloud
platform
- New Railigent X features, fully automated
visual inspection and mobile inspection to make service of trains more flexible
and efficient
Digitalization is a key enabler to reduce emissions and to
deliver the capacity to match a doubling of passenger demand by 2050. By
providing 100% system availability, maximizing the use of existing
infrastructure, and software solutions for seamless door-to-door travel, rail
can become the transport of choice in the future. However, one of the biggest
barriers to a full adoption of digitalization is vast quantities of data being
locked in single systems. Accessing this data via standardized application programming
interfaces (APIs) and connecting them with other systems and services in the
rail ecosystem with the support of AI-driven analysis and evaluation tools is
the key for more efficient rail operations.
- Siemens’ open and interoperable Electrification X portfolio complemented with asset and service lifecycle management software from IFS
