- Research project for an optimized transport system (OTS)
- Mobility offering for the first and last mile
- Testing the interplay of intelligent infrastructure, cloud-based software services and autonomous electric vehicles
Siemens Mobility is launching a field test for autonomous driving at the Siemens campus in Munich-Perlach, Germany. Working with partners IAV GmbH, Institute for Climate Protection, Energy and Mobility (IKEM) e.V., emm Solutions GmbH, UTB Projektmanagement GmbH and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Siemens Mobility is initiating a research project and field test. The test route runs through the campus and enables traffic simulation in a variety of real-life situations.
Siemens AG is constructing a modern and sustainably designed Siemens Campus Erlangen in the southern part of the city of Erlangen, Germany. By 2030, the company's research center in the south of the city will have been transformed step-by-step into one of Siemens' most advanced locations worldwide. Future-oriented office, research and laboratory jobs will be located on the campus. Equipped with the most advanced building and energy technologies, it will be developed over the long term into Siemens' first CO2-neutral location worldwide. A new urban residential and living environment will arise on the campus grounds. Siemens will be part of the community as never before. Designed by the Frankfurt architects KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten, the campus's open plan will link the company and society and provide a basis for the exchange of ideas.The construction project has a planned investment volume of some €500 million and will cover an area of 54 hectares. Siemens Campus Erlangen underscores the company's long-term commitment to its Erlangen location and will be a symbol of innovative power for employees and for the region. The project was planned and designed in close cooperation with the state of Bavaria and the city of Erlangen.
- New innovation hub for research at Siemens in Garching, Germany
- Joint research facility with Technical University of Munich in Garching’s “Isar Valley”
- Modern and open work environments in a digitally planned, sustainable building
Just nine months after construction began, a
topping-out ceremony is being celebrated for the new Siemens Technology Center
at the research campus in the university town of Garching, Germany, near
Munich. As a result, this new building – which was planned digitally and is
being built to meet stringent sustainability requirements – has thus now
reached an important milestone on the journey to Siemens’ future research activities in the
Munich area. With its modern work environments, this facility will serve as an
innovation hub that provides space for inspiration and new ideas. At this center,
more than 450 researchers from Siemens’ “Technology” unit will collaborate on
technologies of the future with around 150 employees and students from the
Technical University of Munich (TUM).
Connected and self-driving vehicles are on the horizon. Autonomous taxis and minibuses could cover the last mile between homes and public mass transit and long-distance transport hubs, helping make private cars superfluous in cities and relieving congestion. In rail transport as well, fully automated systems and connectivity can help satisfy the rapidly growing demand for mobility. Making vehicles and infrastructure more intelligent can ensure better availability and make mobility safer. All this adds up to vastly improved urban environments.Siemens is working with municipalities, public transit authorities and research institutes to develop these transport concepts.
- 18 Desiro HC double-decker trains enter service in Franconia and southern Thuringia in December
- more seats, high level of comfort, cutting-edge technology
- 30-minute service intervals between Nuremberg and Bamberg
- over 10,000 additional seats per day
- eight more trains coming as of June 2024
The movement to
modernize regional transport continues to gain momentum: When the timetable
changes in December 2023, 18 new Desiro HC double-decker trains from Siemens
Mobility will inaugurate service for the Franconia-Thuringia Express. With a
top speed of 160 kilometers per hour, 380 seats, spaces for 36 bicycles, WiFi
service, high-frequency windowpanes that significantly improve cellphone
reception, as well as an electronic passenger information system with 27
monitors, the new Franconia-Thuringia Express operated by DB Regio Bayern
offers a special experience for its passengers. The new trains will operate on
many routes in the future, such as between Nuremberg and Bamberg daily between
5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. every 30 minutes in both directions. The trains will
provide over 10,000 additional seats on this route. DB Regio Bayern and
Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (BEG), which plans, finances and controls
regional and S-Bahn transport on behalf of the state of Bavaria, presented the
new train today together with Siemens Mobility at the Bamberg main station,
followed by a press tour through Franconia. The states of Bavaria and Thuringia
are investing a total of €320 million in the new train fleet to expand regional
transport capacities.
- Charging infrastructure for one of Australia’s leading bus manufacturers
- Siemens digital depot management solution for reporting and monitoring function
- Supports uptake of low emission transport across Australia
One of Australia’s leading bus manufacturers, Custom Denning, has selected Siemens’ electric bus charging stations and digital depot management solution forits fleet of fully Australian designed and built Element electric buses. The charging stations will support the bus manufacturer’s prototype electric buses and be available for future eBus orders of its customers.
- 90 new trains in size XXL
- For the first time, all cars are completely integrated and set new standards
with a train length of over 200 meters
- Financing guaranteed by
the State of Bavaria
Passengers on Munich’s S-Bahn can soon look
forward to traveling on the most modern S-Bahn trains in Germany. Siemens
Mobility will deliver 90 superlative new S-Bahn trains worth more than two
billion euros after winning an EU-wide tender. The contract includes an option
for additional trains. Financing for the trains is guaranteed by the State of
Bavaria through a leasing model.
- Campus Nyland test, training and signaling simulation center opens
- European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) latest in intelligent infrastructure
- Nordlandsbanen will open first digital signaling railway in October 2022
Bane NOR and Siemens Mobility celebrated the opening of Campus Nyland, a test, training and signaling simulation center which will help the rail network operator prepare for the digitalization of the entire system. Norway has committed to becoming the first country to operate with a single digital interlocking and ERTMS signifies one of the country’s largest digitalization projects. In 2022, the first digital line, Nordlandsbanen, will open. In advance, the Campus Nyland center will prepare workers for working within the digital system, ERTMS. The intelligent infrastructure behind ERTMS will reduce operating costs and increase capacity throughout the network. In addition, it will enhance safety, with real-time visibility of trains across the network. When complete in 2034, the system will include 4,200 km of track and more than 350 stations.
- Corporate real estate management now also for external customers
- Renting, development and consulting in focus
- Intelligent real estate in close cooperation with other Siemens units
Siemens Real Estate (SRE) has been managing Siemens' real estate portfolio for more than 20 years and, as a versatile and future-oriented corporate real estate manager, has repeatedly adapted to the challenges of the market. Effective immediately, SRE will make the expertise it has acquired available to external clients for the first time. Companies that do not yet have their own professional real estate management will thus have access to SRE's knowledge and experience in the three product groups of consulting, renting and real estate and location development.
