The slogan at this year’s InnoTrans is “The future of mobility” and this future is posing great challenges to operators and infrastructure planners. For climate change, growing urbanization, population growth in the emerging markets, and globalization will lead in future to increasing demands mobility and transportation all over the world. With its “Complete Mobility” concept, the Siemens Mobility Division offers comprehensive, sustainable solutions to meet these challenges. “Complete mobility” means the intelligent networking of traffic flows on rail, road and in the air. In Hall 4.2 and in the outdoor exhibits, Siemens Mobility will show how multimodal transportation networks can become reality. The main exhibits at this year’s show are the new Velaro D high-speed trainset for eco-friendly links between cities, the new Vectron locomotive generation for cross-border European rail traffic, and an energy-optimized train control system for more economical operation on mass transit and mainline routes. Using the example of its Airport Rail Links, Siemens will demonstrate the efficiency attainable from the increased networking of passenger and freight transport as well as air travel. It will also show the potentials of multimodal traffic management which can improve the environmental compatibility and energy efficiency of transportation systems. Personal electrical mobility will also become a major factor in future: Siemens will show ways and opportunities for integrating electric cars into the multimodal transportation infrastructure. Service and “Complete Mobility” consulting embrace all the technological fields and are important elements in the corporate portfolio. Read More
