"We are especially proud to have won a significant share of
Deutsche Bahn’s volume contract together with our partner Leonhard Weiss. As
the global market leader and as part of this new agreement, we will provide the
digital control and safety technology needed
for the modernization of Germany’s rail network,” said
Michael Peter, CEO of
Siemens Mobility. “The new award and
contract model marks a paradigm shift for the rail industry. It enables the
industry to develop the resources necessary for modernizing Germany’s rail
network. And thanks to its optimized interfaces, the contract will also make
the implementation process much more efficient.”
“The volume contract
underscores Deutsche Bahn’s confidence in the expertise and performance of Leonhard
Weiss and Siemens Mobility. We are confident that we will play a key role in
shaping mobility and the rail infrastructure of the future. We are highly
motivated and at the same time have great respect for this major undertaking,”
emphasized
Marcus Herwarth, CEO, Track Infrastructure Construction at Leonhard
Weiss.
First volume contract from Deutsche Bahn
Deutsche Bahn’s new award and contract model represents a notable shift
for the rail industry. Rather than relying on a series of many individual
contracts and call-offs as in the past, there is now a single, large, long-term
volume contract. The contract’s partners, including Siemens Mobility and the Leonhard
Weiss construction company, are committed to respectively fulfilling a defined
order volume for DB. In return, DB is committed to call-off quantities over the
duration of the contract.
This new contractual approach has decisive advantages: The industry can
develop platform solutions with standard interfaces and reliably develop and
build up the necessary resources. Instead of taking the usual eight years, the
processes of ordering, planning, construction and commissioning are expected to
be shortened to just a few years. The new volume contract is breaking ground
for the future of railway modernization in Germany. In addition to Siemens
Mobility and Leonhard Weiss, other companies in the railway industry have their
own implementation shares in the volume contract.
