- Latin America’s first fully automated metro line (GoA 4)
- Siemens Mobility digitalized CBTC technology installed across entire 15 km of track,11 stations, and 29 trains
- Automated signaling provides greater availability, enhanced operations, and passenger experience
ViaQuatro has successfully begun full operation of São Paulo’s entire Metro Line 4 with Siemens Mobility’s Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling. Since its first stretch opened in 2010, it has been the first fully automated metro line in South America that can operate with GoA 4, the highest grade of automation that allows trains to be automatically controlled and operated. The digitalized and optimized system allows for a more efficient and centralized control of operations, while also increasing the safety, availability, and capacity across the entire network.
- Presentation of the first Velaro high-speed
train for Egypt to the Egyptian Minister of Transport
- Train production for the Egyptian high-speed
rail system in full swing
- New 2,000km long high-speed rail network progressing
Siemens Mobility unveiled its first Velaro high-speed train
for the 2,000km turnkey rail system in Egypt at InnoTrans, the world’s leading

- Companies to work together to speed up energy transition
- Partnership to focus on green hydrogen projects at Shell and its customers
- Holland Hydrogen 1 project in Rotterdam key milestone in partnership to advance green hydrogen
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Shell Global Solutions International BV have
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on developing
low-carbon and highly efficient energy solutions that support the energy
transition. The agreement will focus on projects that produce green hydrogen
for industrial applications at Shell and its customers, as well as enhancing
collaboration in the areas of biofuels and circular chemistry. Under the MoU,
Siemens and Shell will create solutions that increase energy efficiency and
generate sustainable power, consisting of, but not limited to, digitalization,
efficient networks, and the production, distribution, and application of green
hydrogen. The partnership, inked with Siemens’ Electrification and Automation
business unit, has the potential to strengthen synergies for both parties. While
Siemens intends to work with Shell to accelerate the latter’s transition towards
net-zero operations, Shell seeks to supply Siemens and its affiliates with low
carbon products that reduce emissions across the supply chain, in Siemens’
operations, and in the use phase of Siemens products, consisting of but not
limited to supply of biofuels.
