InnoTrans 2018

Convincing flexibility, lifecycle costs and comfort

The natural continuation of three generations of Velaro engineering and numerous innovations have turned this highspeed train into a unique, highly efficient vehicle. The new Velaro Novo consumes up to 30% less energy and considerably reduces investment and maintenance costs, while increasing capacity by 10%.

Perfect interaction among integrated mobility options

When transfers between transport modes are reliable, seamless and time-saving public transportation becomes more attractive. This makes stations important nodes in intermodal, urban transport. Our Digital Station solutions cover everything from infrastructure management to real-time, intermodal travel information, including data analysis for optimization of operations. This results in a 30% reduction in operating costs, 100% availability and larger passenger capacities while enhancing the passenger experience.

Railigent® – powered by MindSphere

With our unique combination of domain know-how and data analysis expertise, we want to enable mobility operators to achieve 100% availability, while maximizing operations. Within a short timespan we can deliver added value to your operations, including world wide support. Railigent® – powered by MindSphere – is an open, modular and scalable solution that also allows us to integrate partners’ data and applications, while naturally applying the highest of IT security standards.

Maximize flexibility, efficiency and savings

The “interlocking in the cloud” will revolutionize mainline railways. In the future, it will allow both the interlocking and the operator control logic to be centralized, free of any spatial restrictions. This will give operators unprecedented flexibility and generate cost savings regarding their infrastructure and operations – naturally without compromising safety. In addition, the use of this multicore technology promises even greater efficiency. Siemens is already working with partners on these advanced technologies.

For its new Line 2 Ulm’s municipal utility (Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm) ordered 12 multi-articulated trams of the Avenio M series, which are optimal for the city’s steep elevations.

From fall 2019 onwards the Inspiro will complement the metro fleet in Sofia, considerably increasing the capacity and attractiveness of public transport in the Bulgarian capital.

Starting this year the first of 82 electric Desiro trains will be operating in Germany’s most populous Rhine and Ruhr region.

Alongside powerful traction and control systems that ensure highly efficient and quiet operation, the interior features many changes to enhance passenger experience.

The Desiro City represents the proven platform for maximum flexibility, perfect comfort and low energy consumption for the British market.

The standard Desiro ML ÖBB cityjet is now equipped with a traction battery for running on stretches without overhead power. 

With 705 vehicles sold to 37 customers in 18 countries, the Vectron is Europe’s leading all-round locomotive.

The Smarton offers an interesting alternative: One version, one contract, one price. The features of this locomotive are precisely tailored to one specific task: freight transport within Germany. 

From 2020 onward, 25 Cityval fully automated people mover systems (APM) will be in operation on line B of the Rennes metro.
