• Siemens Mobility awarded €270 million contract to install digitalized CBTC technology across entire 94 km of track, including a new 6 km track        
• Automated signalling will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and passenger experience
• Digital maintenance and support services for the CBTC System for 25 years

Siemens Mobility has been awarded a €270 million contract by Sporveien AS in Oslo, Norway to install and maintain a Communications-Based Train Control system (CBTC) on the Oslo Metro. Siemens Mobility will completely replace the current legacy signalling with its digitalized CBTC technology which will provide greater automation and connectivity, allowing for a more efficient and centralized control of operations. Specifically, the optimization and renewal of the complete 94 km network will increase the availability, safety, and capacity of the Oslo Metro, while also equipping it to meet the future demands for mobility and the need for any potential expansions or upgrades. As part of this contract, Siemens Mobility will design, integrate, test, and commission the system, while also providing digital maintenance and support services for the CBTC system for 25 years.

• New DALI-2 certification for Siemens Desigo PXC3 and KNX gateway N 141 as well as switch/dim actuator N525D11
• Certification ensures interoperability in multi-vendor environments
• Lighting based on circadian rhythm helps improve health conditions in indoor environments

Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s building products KNX/DALI gateway N 141 and the switch/dim actuator 2x DALI Broadcast N 525D11 as well as the Desigo PXC3 controller were recently certified under the new DALI-2 communication protocol standard for lighting in buildings. DALI-2 is an update to the original “Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)” protocol and facilitates interoperability and control for LED drivers. The newly certified Siemens products will help implement state-of-the-art human centric lighting (HCL) applications also in multi-vendor environments in order to increase concentration, productivity, and well-being indoors.   Moreover, such lighting applications seamlessly integrate into holistic building automation systems provided by Siemens which combine heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and shading. Customers can choose between solutions based on either Desigo or KNX, according to their individual installation requirements. 

• EcoDomus software creates and visualizes BIM-based digital building twins
• Acquisition to enrich Siemens’ digital building software portfolio, addressing increasing customer requirements
• Customers benefit from optimized operations and easier maintenance of their buildings

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed an agreement to acquire digital twin software for buildings from EcoDomus, a US-based company. The move helps Siemens Smart Infrastructure expand its digital building portfolio, including its cloud-based building operations twin software and its flagship building management platform Desigo CC. The EcoDomus software creates, maintains and visualizes Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based digital building twins, making design and construction data available for building operations and maintenance. Customers can generate digital replicas of their real buildings and assets, creating a common data environment that integrates BIM, Building Management Systems (BMS), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The solution enables BIM-driven workflows and digital twin-based lifecycle management, complemented by 3D visualization. 

• An Avenio vehicle equipped with SiC technology spent one year transporting passengers in Munich and covered 65,000 kilometers in the process
• Energy use was cut by 10 percent and motor noise was reduced as well
• Joint research project conducted as part of the European development and research program PINTA

Siemens Mobility and Stadtwerke München (SWM) successfully completed a one-year test of semiconductor technology based on silicon carbide (SiC) in an Avenio streetcar in Munich in August. They have now presented the results of their research. The study found that the motor noise produced by the vehicle fell sharply and that energy use declined as well during the trips that the tram made on Munich’s public-transportation rail network. The semiconductor technology was produced by Infineon Technologies. The tests were conducted as part of the European research and development project PINTA. By taking part in the trial, Siemens Mobility significantly contributed to efforts to integrate SiC power semiconductors into rail vehicles.

At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG decided to renew the appointment of Managing Board member Ralf P. Thomas (60). The term of the company’s chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG will run until December 14, 2026.
