Siemens Mobility – Pioneering Integrated Rail Solutions for a Sustainable Future
Siemens Mobility, a division of Siemens AG, is a global technology leader in rail transport, delivering integrated, high-performance solutions that shape the future of mobility. With a presence in more than 60 countries, Siemens Mobility combines digitalisation, automation, and sustainability to transform how people and goods move across cities, regions and borders.
From advanced rolling stock and rail electrification to full turnkey systems and predictive maintenance services, Siemens Mobility provides end-to-end solutions that help rail operators meet modern transport demands—safely, efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.
Rolling Stock: High-Capacity, Energy-Efficient Vehicles for Every Operation
Siemens Mobility offers a comprehensive range of rolling stock tailored for intercity, regional, urban and light rail applications. All vehicles are built with a focus on performance, passenger experience, and lifecycle value.
The Velaro high-speed platform represents the pinnacle of energy efficiency and comfort, operating at speeds of up to 360 km/h in multiple countries. For regional services, the Desiro family provides modular electric and diesel-electric multiple units known for reliability and scalability. City transport systems, such as the Avenio tram and Inspiro metro, are engineered for dense urban networks, offering high capacity, low noise, and full accessibility.
Siemens also produces advanced locomotives, including the Vectron series, which is compatible with cross-border operations and various electrification systems, supporting both freight and passenger transport needs.
Rolling Stock Components: Modular Systems for Performance and Maintainability
The company’s rolling stock components division delivers core subsystems that improve performance, reduce energy use and simplify maintenance.
Key products include:
- Bogies engineered for high stability, smooth ride quality, and modular maintenance
- Traction systems built for efficiency, using regenerative braking and smart control to minimise energy consumption
- Onboard power supply and HVAC units designed for passenger comfort and resilience in harsh climates
- Digital train control systems that enhance safety and automation on board
All components are designed for compatibility with Siemens vehicles and are also supplied to other train builders under OEM agreements.
Rail Solutions: Seamless Integration for the Rail Lifecycle
Siemens Mobility’s holistic rail solutions portfolio ensures system-level optimisation across every aspect of a rail network. The company’s offerings span:
- Digital train control (DTC) and automated train operation (ATO) for metro and mainline networks
- Station management systems, passenger information and cyber-secure communications platforms
- Railway electrification, interlocking and control centres
These technologies are modular and interoperable, enabling customers to gradually digitalise their networks without disruption.
Electrification: Powering the Transition to Cleaner Rail Transport
Siemens Mobility is a world leader in railway electrification, delivering everything from catenary systems and substations to control and monitoring technology. Its electrification solutions help operators meet decarbonisation targets while reducing operational costs.
The Sicat® product family supports high-speed lines, urban rail and freight corridors, offering reliable energy distribution with minimal infrastructure footprint. Siemens also integrates smart energy management systems, allowing railways to balance supply, recover braking energy and connect to renewable power sources.
Turnkey Rail Systems: Fully Integrated Delivery for Urban and Regional Transit
Siemens Mobility’s turnkey division manages the design, delivery and operation of complete rail systems. By combining rolling stock, signalling, infrastructure, electrification and project management, Siemens ensures seamless execution from concept to commissioning.
Successful turnkey references include the Riyadh Metro (KSA), Thameslink (UK) and Bangkok’s MRT Blue Line. Siemens Mobility excels in delivering complex projects with tight schedules and diverse stakeholder environments.
Rail Services: Smart Maintenance and Lifecycle Support
Through digitalisation and real-time analytics, Siemens Mobility’s service portfolio enables predictive maintenance, operational optimisation, and performance-based asset management.
Key service offerings include:
- Railigent® X, a cloud-based diagnostics platform that uses AI and IoT to monitor trains, infrastructure and components in real time
- Maintenance-as-a-Service (MaaS) contracts, reducing customer overhead while ensuring high availability
- Fleet modernisation and retrofitting services that extend the lifecycle of older assets using new-generation components
By integrating services from the design phase onward, Siemens reduces total cost of ownership and increases system uptime.
