Siemens Mobility

Rail Systems (RL ) is a of the Siemens Infrastructure & Cities Sector Division. The sector was established on 1 October 2011, the same date the Division received its new name.

By the end of September 2011 was the name of Siemens Mobility; among them were other business units incorporated. Prior to the business as Transportation Systems ( TS) was called, and before that as traffic engineering (VT). The new sector is the Fourth of Siemens AG. RL has its headquarters in Berlin and brings together the rail vehicle business of Siemens.

History

In fiscal year 1996/97, the company reported a loss of 177 million DM turnover had declined to 4.1 billion, order intake rose to a record level of 7.1 billion DM.

From the end of 2000 / beginning of 2001, the company only appeared under the name Transportation Systems to improve international comprehensibility. The business areas received this the names of Automation Railways ( Manufacturing Execution Systems Highway ), Automation Mass Transit ( management systems transport ) Electrification ( railway electrification ), Turnkey Systems (total assets), Locomotives (locomotives ) and trains ( EMUs ).

In fiscal 2002, the company achieved a turnover of 4.367 billion euros with 17,100 employees. EBIT amounted to 247 million euros. New orders totaled 5.247 billion euros, including a record contract to supply 1,200 Desiro UK regional trains in the amount of 1.6 billion euros.

As a result of warranty claims from the Combino tram vehicles, the division booked in the second quarter of 2004, an operating loss of 289 million euros; the special charges were estimated at a total of 364 million euros.

From 1 January 2008 to 30 September 2011, Siemens Mobility was a part of the Siemens Industry Sector.

Rail vehicles

In 1879, Werner Siemens presented at the Berlin Trade Exhibition, the first electric locomotive. 1881, built by Siemens, the first electric tram in Berlin light field was opened. From these humble beginnings, an independent business unit emerged.

Siemens & Halske built, among others, the electric drive of the first commercially operated tram railcars of the local railway Mödling - Hinterbrühl ( SB Tw 1-15 ) and the Frankfurt- Offenbach Tram Railroad Company ( FOTG ) and the electrical components of the line technology. The mechanical part and the bodies of railcars and trailers of the FOTG was made ​​by wagon factory P. Herbrand & Cie in Cologne- Ehrenfeld.

Transport

In the Mass Transit light rail and tram trains (such as CitySprinter, VAL, Combino, Avanto, Avenio and ULF) as well as vehicles for commuter trains and subways offered. Even large cabins for various H- Bahn systems are part of the product portfolio.

Locomotives

The area Locomotives manufactures for example locomotives of series 152 and 189 of the DB AG. Today in Europe, especially the two Lokfamilien Euro Sprinter and Euro runners are offered, with the family Euro Sprinter three-phase locomotives includes in several variants. The Euro Runner is based on a diesel-electric drive. Both engine families are used in several European countries. For Asia, there is the Asiarunner as another variant. The development of these locomotives will be marketed since 2010 under the brand name Vectron.

Multiple Units

The area Trains offers a range of unit trains for regional and high speed range.

Siemens TS was involved in the construction of high-speed trains ICE 1 and ICE 2 for the German Bahn AG. The ICE 3 is the first representative of the registered product Velaro platform. Since 2007, produced at the plant in Krefeld- Uerdingen Velaro E connects the Spanish cities of Barcelona and Madrid. In November 2005, a contract for the supply of 60 high-speed trains for China was signed. These trains are based on the Velaro platform and are mostly produced in China from the fourth train. Furthermore, it is used a to local conditions (eg ambient temperature down to -50 ° C, broad-gauge, higher cab ) adapted version of the Siemens Velaro RUS in Russia on the railway line St. Petersburg - Moscow and between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod since 2008.

Another trademark is the Desiro, which is at various British railway companies such as at South West Trains in use. In 2006/2007, also trains for Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link in Bangkok were built. In Germany, the Desiro Classic runs as the class 642 ( diesel version ) at various train operating companies and as Desiro Mainline - an electric train set for regional transport. This Classic version was and is manufactured in customized versions for countries, such as Austria, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Greece.

Railway infrastructure systems

When the railway infrastructure systems Siemens Mobility as a leader in a wide range.

Electrification

For the operation of the electric locomotives and trams, Siemens Mobility manufactures traction power systems, supplies components for overhead lines and offers to their assembly.

Rail Automation

The parent company ( headquarters of the line ) of the Rail Automation is the Siemens factory in Braunschweig, which goes back to the Founded in 1873, railway signaling Construction Company Jüdel Max & Co.. Today the following products belong to this section:

• Signals, switches control systems, railroad crossings and train detection systems, such as axle counters
• Security systems such as signal boxes, block systems and train control (point- and Linienzugbeeinflussung, European Train Control System ( ETCS) )
• Planning, operations and simulation systems
• Management systems for the automation and optimization of large marshalling yards
• Communication systems, such as passenger information systems at the track, video surveillance systems and Train Radio Systems
• Training systems for training of dispatchers for the control centers

In addition to conventional traffic engineering, there are the following products:

• In a consortium with ThyssenKrupp: Infrastructure systems and vehicles for the Transrapid maglev
• Driverless trains in public transportation, such as the product " VAL " ( Vehicle of automatique Léger ) from Siemens Mobility France, or the metro project RUBIN

Logistics infrastructure

This business area (formerly, among other things, Industry Solutions, Postal Automation, Airport Logistics ) offers systems and machines for postal automation, airport and transportation logistics and related services. In the post- automation, this includes machines for standard, large letter ( Flats ) and package sorting, systems for automatic reading and video and other coding, as well as related software solutions. In the airport - logistics These are above all the baggage systems from check -in to baggage claim for the freight logistics, as well as the software systems in the airport area. It also includes the service (spare parts, maintenance, etc. ) for these product lines.

Services

The services offered include maintenance contracts. The area Lokvermietung ( Dispolok ) was established in 2006 to Mitsui & Co., Ltd.. sold and merged with the leasing business of Mitsui Rail Capital Europe to MRCE Dispolok. Furthermore, Siemens Mobility through the planning and integration of turnkey new lines. Even greater financing rail projects can be contributed directly. For training in the field of traffic engineering, there is a "Rail Automation Academy " (formerly "School of Traffic Engineering " ) in Braunschweig and Berlin, as well as and a " rolling stock Academy", which offer together as " TS Academy" internal and partly external training. Spare parts for the entire product range offered on the Internet marketplace Rail Mall.

Traffic Systems

The segment Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS ) offers products and systems for the road-based transport. In the three sub-segments of Urban and Interurban and " Electronic Tolling " Siemens offers solutions for traffic control and traffic management of stationary and moving traffic. These include traffic signals ( traffic lights ), car park technology, parking ticket machines, intra - and extra-urban control and management centers ( traffic computer, network, highway, and tunnel control ), as well as intra - and extra-urban toll solutions, environmental management and detection. As services ITS offers such as traffic planning, implementation, maintenance, service and training.
