Green collaboration with Siemens

Green drives are the future for public transport: Siemens Mobility and EMKA agree on this. In the field of train technology, both companies have already successfully implemented many projects: whether in the Munich Underground, the Bangkok Metro, or the London Tube. And the next project has long been in the pipeline. EMKA locking systems will be used in the new Mireo Plus H (hydrogen-powered) and Mireo Plus B (battery-powered) trains, the next generation of trains with green and intelligent drive technology.Get more news about siemens used mounter quality supplier,you can vist our website!

EMKA equips new train series of Siemens Mobility Siemens Mobility, headquartered in Munich, Germany, is a subsidiary of the Siemens Group. Responsible for the international mobility business, it has been organised as an independent Siemens Mobility GmbH since 1 August 2018. Its business areas include the planning and construction of complete turnkey rail systems, the production of signalling and control technology as well as vehicles for rail transport and maintenance and services for the infrastructure.

Out of a total of 36,800 employees, about 4,400 work for the „Components“ division. They manufacture converters, pantographs, control systems, gearboxes, railway motors, bogies and braking systems for rail vehicles worldwide. For example, the classic ICE, Metro China and the Avenio hybrid tram in Doha all benefit from the manufacturer‘s innovative technology.

Siemens Mobility equips rail vehicles worldwide with important components to ensure that passengers on local public transport and interregional train journeys are transported in a comfortable and safe environment. Traction power con-verters and auxiliary power converters are responsible for power electronics and drive technology. Traction converters are used to generate the three-phase current for the drive motors from the respective traction current system of the overhead line or the conductor rail.

They are used in all applications and installation variants such as underfloor, roof-mounted and indoor. Auxiliary converters supply the entire power and voltage range in order to realise the on-board power supply for all train applications in a compact and highly efficient way. Important criteria of these components are their flexibility as well as their low weight and size. This is where EMKA comes into play: for many years, Siemens Mobility has been working with the expert for locking technology on numerous projects in order to close the housings of the converters safely and in accordance with fire protection requirements. As a result, EMKA locking systems are used worldwide in vehicles for metro systems, for trams and light rail vehicles, for local and regional transport, in passenger coaches and also for intercity and high-speed transport. Siemens relies on electricity and hydrogen Siemens Mobility recently unveiled the concept of its new battery and hydrogen-powered trains. The completion of the first hydrogen train, the Mireo Plus H, is scheduled for July, the first battery-powered train, the Mireo Plus B, for November. Afterwards, both train series will go into test operation.

According to Siemens, the fleet of 31 Mireo Plus B and 7 Mireo Plus H trains is scheduled to enter service in the Berlin area in December 2024. Diesel consumption is expected to be reduced by 5.5 million litres and CO2 emissions by 14,500 tonnes. One Mireo Plus B is capable of carrying 282 passengers each, with seating for 127 passengers. The Mireo Plus H is designed to carry 279 passengers, with seating for 134. Both reach a top speed of 140 km/h with an acceleration of 1.1 m/s2. Furthermore, the vehicles will be equipped with traction systems with an output of 1.7 MW.
