Andre Rodenbeck, CEO of Rail Infrastructure, Siemens Mobility said: “We are proud not only to supply our state-of-the-art technologies for both lines, but also our local know-how.

This will be a huge advantage for travelers but also for the environment where technology strengthens sustainability.”
