Siemens Mobility delivers seven Mireo trains for DB Regio
"This
order marks the third Mireo order we've received from DB Regio AG in less than
three years. Our Mireo trains will operate in future on the new regional "North
Baden Express" line and also serve as regional trains in the Rhine Valley
and on the S-Bahn system in the Rhine-Neckar region. The Mireo features an
energy-efficient vehicle design and improved passenger comfort, and offers sustainable
value enhancement over the entire lifecycle," said Sabrina Soussan, CEO of
Siemens Mobility.
The
three-car Mireo trains are offering more than 200 seats. The train has a
scalable, articulated design. Its lightweight construction, energy-efficient
components and intelligent network management enables the Mireo to reduce its
energy consumption by up to 25% compared to the previous generation of electric
multiple-unit trains. The new aerodynamic design and quiet bogies reduce the
train's noise level.
The new trains are
procured by DB Regio AG on behalf of the Ministry of Transport
Baden-Württemberg as the responsible authority for this network. After delivery
of the vehicles, these will become the property of the Landesanstalt
Schienenfahrzeuge Baden-Württemberg (SFBW) and are leased to DB Regio for 13
years, the term of the transport contract.
