story
Since the founding of Siemens AG's traffic technology division in 1989, the division has been reorganized and renamed several times. In the 1996/97 financial year, the Traffic Technology Division (VT) made a loss of DM 177 million. Sales had fallen to DM 4.1 billion and incoming orders had risen to a record DM 7.1 billion.
From the end of 2000 / beginning of 2001, the company appeared under the name Transportation Systems in order to improve international understanding. The business areas were also given English names: Automation Railways (operations management systems for long-distance traffic), Automation Mass Transit (operations management systems for local traffic), Electrification (railway electrification), Turnkey Systems (entire systems), Locomotives (locomotives) and Trains (multiple units).
In the 2002 financial year, the division achieved sales of 4.4 billion euros with 17,100 employees. The EBIT was 247 million euros. Order intake was €5.25 billion including a record €1.6 billion order for the delivery of 1,200 Desiro UK regional multiple units. As a result of warranty claims from the Combino tram vehicles, the division posted an operating loss of 289 million euros in the second quarter of 2004; the special charges were estimated at a total of 364 million euros.
From 2008 to September 2011, the division renamed Mobility (MO) was a part of the Siemens Industry Sector . As of October 1, 2011, the business was split between the two divisions, Rail Systems (RL) and Mobility and Logistics (MOL), and became part of the newly formed Siemens Infrastructure & Cities sector . As of October 1, 2014, the superordinate sector level was abolished. The former Rail Systems (RL) and Mobility and Logistics (MOL) divisions and the Rail Electrification segment from the Energy sector were merged back into the newly combined Mobility Division .
In November 2012, Siemens acquired Invensys Rail for £1.7 billion . Siemens thus also acquired expertise in the construction of ETCS line equipment.
In September 2017, Siemens and Alstom announced their intention to merge their respective rail technology activities. The listed Alstom should form the core of a merged Siemens-Alstom. Siemens wanted to take over just over 50 percent of this company and thus control it. In preparation for the merger, what was then the Mobility Division, including associated corporate functions such as Human Resources, Controlling, etc., was spun off from Siemens. Since then, it has operated as an independent Siemens Mobility GmbH. In February 2019, however, the responsible EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager prohibited the merger, as it would have a negative impact on internal competition and ultimately also on consumers. The planned merger was not completed and Siemens Mobility remains part of the Siemens group as a 100% subsidiary.
After Siemens Mobility was awarded the contract to supply underground cars for the Piccadilly Line , it was decided to build a new plant in Goole , UK. Production is scheduled to start in 2023.

organization
There are five business units within Siemens Mobility:
- Rail Infrastructure : signaling and control technology for rail traffic; railway electrification
- Turnkey : Planning and construction of turnkey complete railway systems
- Rolling Stock : rolling stock for rail transport: regional, intercity and high-speed multiple units, subways, trams and light rail vehicles, passenger coaches, driverless vehicles and locomotives
- Customer Services : maintenance and services for vehicles and infrastructure
- Intelligent Traffic Systems : road traffic control and information systems, parking space management and electronic payment and toll systems
railway infrastructure
Siemens Mobility offers a wide range of rail infrastructure systems.
electrification
For the operation of the electric locomotives and trams, Siemens Mobility manufactures traction current systems , supplies components for contact lines and offers their assembly.
railway automation
The headquarters (headquarters) of the Rail Infrastructure division/business unit (formerly: Rail Automation and Mobility Management ) is the Siemens factory in Braunschweig , which dates back to the Max Jüdel & Co. railway signal construction company founded in 1873 . Today the following products belong to this area:
- Signals , switch control systems , level crossings and track vacancy detection devices, such as e.g. B. Axle counter
- Safety systems such as interlockings , block systems and train control systems ( point and line train control , European Train Control System (ETCS) )
- Planning , operational control and simulation systems
- Operational management systems for the automation and optimization of large marshalling yards
- Communication systems, such as passenger information systems along the route, video surveillance systems and train radio systems
- Training systems for training dispatchers for the operations control centers
In addition to conventional traffic technology, there are the following products:
- In a consortium with ThyssenKrupp : infrastructure systems and vehicles for the Transrapid maglev train
- Driverless trains in local public transport, e.g. B. the product "VAL" ( Véhicule automatique léger ) from Siemens Mobility France, or the subway project RUBIN
Complete railway systems
Siemens Mobility also acts as a system integrator on the international market. This means that complete turnkey integrated railway systems are created for the customer. The components supplied by Siemens Mobility, such as vehicles, signaling technology and railway electrification, and other externally supplied components are integrated into a functioning modern railway system. The construction of necessary structures such as stations, bridges and tunnels is carried out by suitable construction partners .
Examples of complete rail systems from Siemens Mobility are lines 1 and 2 of the Riyadh Metro and the Bangkok Skytrain .
rail vehicles
In 1879, Werner von Siemens presented the first electric locomotive at the Berlin trade exhibition . The first electric tram, built by Siemens, was opened in Berlin-Lichterfelde in 1881, before the Elektromote , the first forerunner of the trolleybus , followed in 1882 . From these beginnings, an independent business area crystallized.
Among other things, Siemens & Halske built the electric drive for the first commercially operated tram railcars for the local railway Mödling–Hinterbrühl ( SB Tw 1–15 ) and the Frankfurt-Offenbacher Trambahn-Gesellschaft (FOTG) as well as the electrical components of the line technology. The mechanical part and the car bodies of the railcars and sidecars of the FOTG were manufactured by the Waggonfabrik P. Herbrand & Cie in Cologne-Ehrenfeld .
local transport
In the Mass Transit area, light rail and tram trains (such as CitySprinter , VAL , Combino , Avanto , Avenio and ULF ) as well as vehicles for S-Bahn and U-Bahn are offered. The product portfolio also includes large cabins for various H-Bahn systems.
locomotives
The Locomotives division manufactured the EuroSprinter and EuroRunner families of locomotives . Today, the Vectron locomotive families and their offshoots are primarily offered in Europe . For the North American market, locomotives from the Charger family are produced in Sacramento for fast passenger service.
multiple units
The Trains division offers a range of regional and high-speed multiple units.
Siemens TS was involved in the construction of the InterCityExpress high-speed trains ( ICE 1 and ICE 2 ) for Deutsche Bahn AG . The Velaro E, produced in the Krefeld - Uerdingen plant (formerly Waggonfabrik Uerdingen / DUEWAG), has been connecting the Spanish cities of Barcelona and Madrid since 2007. In November 2005, a contract was signed for the delivery of 60 high-speed trains for China. These trains are based on the Velaro platform and are mostly produced in China from the fourth train onwards. Furthermore, since 2008 a variant adapted to local conditions (e.g. outside temperature down to −50 °C, broad gauge, higher driver's cab) has been used as the Siemens Velaro RUS in Russia on the Saint Petersburg–Moscow railway and between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod .
Another registered trademark is the Desiro , which is used by various British railway companies such as e.g. B. is used by South West Trains . Trains for Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link in Bangkok were also built in 2006/2007. In Germany, the Desiro Classic operates as the 642 series (diesel version) with various railway companies and as the Desiro Mainline - an electric multiple unit for regional transport. This Classic version was and is produced in versions adapted for the countries, e.g. B. for Austria, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Greece.
Siemens Mobility has also been producing the ICE4 for Deutsche Bahn AG since 2011.
Services
Services offered include maintenance contracts. The locomotive rental division ( Dispolok ) was transferred to Mitsui & Co. Ltd. in 2006. sold and merged with the leasing business of Mitsui Rail Capital Europe to form MRCE Dispolok. Furthermore, Siemens Mobility carries out the planning and integration of turnkey new lines. Financing of larger railway projects can also be contributed directly. For training courses in the field of traffic engineering, there is a "Rail Automation Academy" (formerly "School for Traffic Engineering") in Braunschweig and Berlin, as well as a "Rolling Stock Academy", which together as "TS Academy" offer internal and partly external training courses. Spare parts for the entire product range are offered on the MoBase Internet marketplace .
Intermodal solutions
Siemens Mobility is committed to the development of intermodal transport concepts. To this end, the Group has acquired various international companies from the mobility sector in order to be able to position itself broadly as a Mobility as a Service ( MaaS ) provider. Siemens Mobility's intermodal transport portfolio includes the following companies and divisions: HaCon (planning, dispatching and information systems), eos.uptrade (ticketing solutions), Bytemark (platform solutions for ticketing and payment) and Padam Mobility ( SaaS provider for demand-responsive Transport).
road traffic technology
The Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) segment offers products and systems for road traffic. In the three sub-segments Urban and Interurban and "Electronic Tolling", Siemens offers solutions for traffic control and traffic management of stationary and moving traffic. These include e.g. B. Traffic signal systems (traffic lights), parking garage technology, parking ticket machines, inner and outer-city control and control centers (traffic computer, network, motorway and tunnel control), as well as inner- and outer-city toll solutions, environmental management and detection. ITS offers e.g. B. traffic planning, implementation, maintenance service and training.
In September 2020, Siemens announced that this segment is to be spun off into an independent company by the end of September 2021. In February 2021 it was announced that this independent company would be called Yunex Traffic.
