Systems and components

As a powerful, environmentally-friendly, and highly economical means of transport, trams and light rail vehicles are made even more attractive by powerful auxiliary converters – in terms of both passenger comfort and infotainment. The propulsion system and its gear units are precisely adapted to the requirements of urban conditions.

Metro lines need to ensure that passengers are transported in a safe and comfortable environment while also meeting economic and environmental requirements. Our propulsion systems, bogies, and auxiliary converters make a major contribution.

People want to stay mobile – and preferably be as comfortable, flexible, and eco-friendly as possible in the process. Intelligent concepts for propulsion systems, bogies, and auxiliary converters are an important part of the solution.

Linking urban population centers quickly, reliably, and across borders also requires providing passengers with a highly developed offering of punctuality, comfort, cost-effectiveness, service, and flexibility. This includes having the right combination of modern systems and components for drives, bogies, and power supply on board.

Cost-effectiveness and conservation of resources with optimal performance: Perfectly coordinated components and systems help make locomotives future-proof – regardless of whether it's a matter of maximum flexibility in operation or powerful locomotives for the heaviest transport tasks.

For modern, economical intercity and regional transport, you need passenger coaches that combine safe and comfortable travel with modern infotainment and connectivity. The technological basis for this is the right combination of bogie, brakes, and auxiliary converters, adapted to the specific transport task and also, if necessary, to cross-border transport.

Whether in a modern city or at the airport, the need for mobility systems that flexibly adapt to fluctuating needs continues to grow – be it feeder and metro lines or a connection between terminals. The new generation VAL is an Automated People Mover (APM) solution on rubber tires, offering the lowest total cost of ownership for cities and airports.

Modern, battery-driven buses combine CO₂-neutral mobility with extreme passenger comfort – based on innovative drive components and auxiliary converters. With the functional fast charging terminal from Siemens Mobility, it's also possible to implement need-based charging concepts.
