Siemens Mobility is seeking compensation from the German authorities for investments made in Russia

The lawsuit concerns the recognition of the unilateral refusal to supply and provide warranty service for equipment kits as invalid, as well as the recovery of penalties for delivery delays.

Earlier, Siemens Mobility filed two lawsuits in the arbitration courts of the Sverdlovsk Region and Moscow to recover 1 billion rubles and 1.1 billion rubles from Ural Locomotives.

In May 2022, Siemens announced its withdrawal from Russia, cessation of supplies, and suspension of all new business projects due to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and sanctions.

Siemens Mobility terminated service contracts for maintenance with Russian Railways (RZD). The service contracts, in particular, included obligations to service “Sapsans.”
