Siemens Mobility is expanding its capabilities with alternative propulsion systems, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Siemens has officially introduced the Mireo Smart.

Albrecht Neumann, CEO of Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility, stated, “Mireo Smart is a response to the challenges of the evolving transportation landscape and the growing popularity of rail mobility. We offer rail operators a pre-configured train that can be delivered quickly, ensuring high reliability and availability.”

“What’s new in this project is that we now also offer Mireo Smart with alternative drive systems. By providing this environmentally friendly option, we give our customers even greater flexibility in adapting to the various requirements of their rail networks.”

Mireo Smart offers regional and suburban rail operators an efficient procurement process, taking a maximum of 18 months from order placement to operation commencement.

This enables transport operators to rapidly and flexibly respond to growing demand and expand their fleet without prolonged delays.

The standardized concept, allowing certain configuration parameters, not only reduces procurement costs but also simplifies ongoing operations.

The sales process, based on fixed-term specifications, is transparent and straightforward, facilitating train orders.

During this process, clients can also purchase a maintenance contract with a spare parts package and technical support to maximize the profitability of their operations.

With a capacity of 214 seats, space for 21 bicycles, and two wheelchairs, Mireo Smart offers a high level of comfort and convenience for passengers.

Trains are equipped with a high-performance air conditioner, onboard internet services, information monitoring systems for passengers’ safety, and large TFT screens in the entrance areas.

The trains will be manufactured at Siemens Mobility’s factory and development unit in Krefeld.
