Siemens Mobility: A great partner for …

… excellent customer service, ensuring highest levels of availability and safety

From our maintanance services, to our spare parts services to our digital services - we keep the world running. We set the service standard in the rail industry and provide best-in-class maintenance. We identify faults before they occur, identify the correct resolution and optimise the maintenance schedule to achieve highest availability and reliability to keep trains on schedule. From our Bogie Service Centre in Lincoln, Traction Drives in Leeds, network of rail depots and expert engineering support teams, we've got your covered. At Siemens Mobility, we live Zero Harm - ensuring adherance to all safety procedures for a safe work environment and safe transportation. 

… supporting the UK economy

We are committed to the government's aim of rebalancing the UK economy - with our train manufacturing facility in Goole creating 700 jobs and 1700 indirect jobs. With the factory and an onsite R&D and digital innovation cluster serving the UK rail sector, our goal is to create a Centre of Excellence for Rail Technology. When complete in 2023, the state-of-the-art factory will manufacture and commission trains – the first of which will be new Tube trains for London’s Piccadilly line with plans for additional train manufacture in the future. This could include additional vehicles for the Bakerloo, Central and Waterloo & City line Tube trains, plus mainline suburban and intercity trains.

…reliable UK rail transport through proven engineering and digital technologies

Our Digital Services team use data to develop tailored solutions for our customers for execution, performance management and decision support. Rail transport is made more efficient, reliable and safe thanks to condition-based monitoring, data analysis and predictive maintenance concepts. Trains can produce 700-800 million data points annually and Railigent is our IoT cloud based platform that converts that data into useful information to support decision making to improve cost, availability and passenger experience. Train-generated data also provides train operators with powerful insights into how their assets are being used to support timetable planning and service improvement.

… innovative and sustainable rail transport

We are committed to decarbonisation - with our own global Siemens Mobility targets of decarbonisation by 2030. Siemens Mobility is one of the world's biggest investors in technology R&D, spending more than 5.4 billion euros and this is demonstrated throughout our UK business. We partner with the leading UK universities in rail research. Our partnership with the University of Birmingham was recognised with a PraxisAuril Knowledge Exchange award for the best in class business-academic collaboration. The partnership involves the University of Birmingham's collaboration in the new Rail Accelerator and Innovations Solutions Hub for Enterprise (RaisE). This major R&D facility at our Goole site will accelerate collaboration and develop a strong ecosystem and innovation pipeline for railways.
