- 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.”
- Inaugural service for a hydrogen
train in Berlin and Brandenburg
- Premiere for battery trains in the East Brandenburg network
Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB) and
Siemens Mobility have just ushered in the age of zero-emission rail transport
in Berlin and Brandenburg with a special trip by the Mireo Plus H hydrogen-powered
train from Basdorf to Berlin Charlottenburg via the Berlin Stadtbahn. Gathering
with representatives of the federal states and the Verkehrsverbund
Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB) at the Basdorf station, they jointly pressed the start
button to inaugurate the age of climate-friendly drive systems, presenting the Mireo
Plus H for the Heidekrautbahn and the Mireo Plus B battery train for the East
Brandenburg 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
international trade fair for transport in Berlin. The train is specifically
designed to withstand the climatic and sandy conditions of Egypt and was presented
to Kamel Al-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister of Egypt, Industry and Trade Minister,
and Transportation Minister, and his delegation, in the presence of the German
Federal Minister of Transport, Mr. Volker Wissing and Siemens AG CEO, Roland
Busch. The train is the first of the 41 Velaro trains manufactured for the
multibillion-dollar turnkey project, a Consortium between Siemens Mobility,
Orascom Construction, and The Arab Contractors.

2018 and subsequently organized it into a separate business unit in 2022.
- 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.
