Evolution of Canadian Cities Requires World-Class Transportation

In November 2018 Siemens Mobility was awarded a London Underground (LUL) contract to supply 94 new trains for the Piccadilly line – one of the four Deep Tube lines that will be modernized through the Deep Tube Upgrade Programme.

The innovative new trains will be in operation on London Underground's (LU's) Piccadilly line from 2025 – with open, walk-through carriages, full air-conditioning, dynamic passenger information systems, and many more special design features. 

Siemens Mobility will also be offering a range of digital services based on its Application Suite Railigent®.

In September 2017 the Austrian public transport operator Wiener Linien ordered 34 six-car trains with an option for an additional 11 vehicles as well as a 24-year maintenance contract. This is the 3^rd generation of metro trains in Vienna, following the Silberpfeil (U-Type) since 1972 and the V-Wagen since 2000, which were also delivered by Siemens.

The new trains will be operated fully automated on the new line U5 and semi-automated or manually on Vienna's existing lines. All vehicles will be delivered until 2030.

The vehicles will be the world’s first metros to be fitted with the new passenger information system (PGI Plus System). The innovative passenger information will significantly improve both the passenger flow and travel comfort.

The S700 is the newest in LRV technology from Siemens Mobility and is already in use in 7 cities in the United States. 

The 11-mile transit line and their 91 Siemens Mobility LRV’s serve up to 40,000 riders a day in temperatures as low as -40C and 50cm of snow.

We made over 1,000 unique customizations to the vehicles for Minneapolis, all of which have ensured that it operates safely and reliably in the Minnesota winter. 

Collaborative innovation unleashed to solve historic problems such as wheelchair accessibility and durability in a harsh climate

Several decades of after-sales support expected through close working relationship

Partnership built on a foundation of openness, honesty and integrity

In a consortium with the general infrastructure contractor Per Aarsleff A/S, Siemens received an order for a turnkey light rail system in Copenhagen in 2018.

Siemens will deliver 29 four-car Avenio trams, signaling and communication technology, rail electrification, workshop equipment as well as maintenance services for 15 years.

Once commissioned in 2024, the line will support Copenhagen in becoming the world’s first carbon-neutral capital city.

For Doha’s Education City, Siemens was commissioned to build a tram system that operates without overhead contact lines.

In addition to 19 Avenios, Siemens is also delivering the  signaling equipment, communications system, supervisory control and data acquisition system, depot and workshop equipment as well as power supply.

The Avenios are equipped with the Sitras HES energy storage system – charging takes place at the stations.
