“Our
facility in Allach is one of the most modern locomotive factories in Europe,
using the latest innovative technologies like laser welding robots, augmented
reality, and 3D simulations with digital twins. The added capacities will
enable us to increase production output and meet growing market demand in
Europe. We’ll now be able to build more than 300 locomotives a year in Allach
and create new, highly qualified jobs in the plant,” said Albrecht Neumann, CEO
Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility.
“Following last
year’s expansion of our depot and service network in Novara, Italy, and
Bratislava, Slovakia, we are continuing to develop and extend service locations
along the trans-European rail corridors. By expanding the competence center for
locomotives at our traditional company location in Munich-Allach, our customers
will benefit from the additional capacities and our wide range of preventive
and corrective maintenance offers. The close interaction between the Rail
Service Center and data center enables us to continually evolve and refine our
digital services based on Railigent X. As a result, we can also ensure up to
100 percent availability for the locomotives,” commented Johannes Emmelheinz,
CEO Customer Services at Siemens Mobility.
The plant in
Munich-Allach was built by Krauss-Maffei early in the 20th century.
Siemens completely took over the locomotive business from Krauss-Maffei in 2001
and launched production of Vectron locomotives in Allach in 2010. More than
1,600 of these locomotives have since been sold worldwide. In 2015, Siemens
Mobility’s service business opened its Rail Service Center and data center in
Allach to optimally leverage synergies between production and service.
