While Siemens was showcasing a host of new rail vehicle concepts and solutions for mass transit, commuter and mainline services at InnoTrans 2016, the event was used to officially launch a new train generation for sustainable urban and regional mobility services – the Mireo. Being a new benchmark it is a lightweight, energy efficient train that is fully customizable to fit partners’ requirements while a fully comprehensive passenger information and infotainment system comes standard.
Siemens unveiled the ICE 4 – the new backbone of Deutsche Bahn’s long-distance network. With the introduction of the ICE 4, Deutsche Bahn is ushering in a new era in long-distance travel. The unique train concept by Siemens features many technical innovations and sets new standards in intercity transport in Germany. The first two ICE 4 trains will begin service in the fall of 2016 in the framework of a months-long introductory phase with passengers, before the train enters regular service when DB’s new timetable takes effect in 2017.
Siemens has presented its new Inspiro type metro vehicle for the world’s biggest mass transit project in Riyadh. With six lines and a total route length of 175 kilometers, Riyadh is building the world’s largest metro project. The Siemens order includes the metro trains, electrification system, and signaling and communication equipment for driverless operation on Lines 1 and 2.
Siemens also presented the Velaro TR train built on the first Velaro-D-based train. The contracts placed by the Turkish Railways (TCDD) also cover a maintenance agreement for up to seven years, including spare parts, and the delivery of a driving simulator. To complete the first order, a Velaro was taken from the ongoing Velaro D production, converted for operation in Turkey and delivered within 180 days.
The train took on the passenger service between Ankara and Konya on May 24, 2015. The delivery for six additional trains is scheduled for 2017.
