Mireo Plus – a powerful train becomes even more powerful
Mireo is characterized primarily by its versatility – also in terms of drive options. To replace diesel multiple units on routes that are only partially electrified, or are not electrified at all, Mireo is equipped with hydrogen or battery drives as Mireo Plus. It impresses with the proven features of Mireo while enabling locally emission-free operation.

Sustainability for regional and commuter transport
Clean, flexible, powerful – sustainable regional transport even without an overhead contact line
What are the benefits of hydrogen trains?
Consistently better operation – with hydrogen
Hydrogen (H2) is an ideal storage medium for electrical energy because it can easily be carried in tanks and reconverted to electricity (and water) in a hydrogen fuel cell.
Consistently better operation – with hydrogen
Due to their high power density, Siemens Mobility H2 trains typically require one tank stop at the depot per day, especially for ranges over 120 km. Two train lengths are available for ranges up to 1,200 km.
Your benefits:
- CO2-free operation when using hydrogen from electrolysis
- Low noise level
- State-of-the-art fuel cells with twice the power density and service life → 34,000 operating hours
- +5 percent efficiency level
- Use of excess electricity in the grid with hydrogen as storage medium
What are the benefits of battery trains?
Traction batteries for partially electrified sections
All the technological components in our battery-powered trains are installed on the roof or underfloor. Batteries have been proving themselves as an electrical storage system for decades. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, they're ideal for use in battery-powered trains with ranges up to 120 km. Batteries can be charged in stations via overhead cable contacts. The acceleration advantage and greater riding comfort of the electric drive as compared to DMUs is especially noticeable on shorter sections.
Built-in bonus: cost-effectiveness
Thanks to energy savings and reduced lifecycle costs, operation of our battery-powered trains is also extremely cost-effective (up to 45 percent reduction in operating costs). All this is available in an optimized overall solution from a single source, including vehicles, service, financing and, on request, energy procurement, power distribution, and charging stations.
Your benefits:
- CO2-free operation when using power from renewable sources
- Low noise level
- State-of-the-art, extremely long-life lithium-ion technology with twice the service life of conventional systems
- Significantly higher charging capacity – fewer charging stations necessary; rugged, simple design permits the use of larger batteries
Ensuring operation – maintenance services for your trains
