Mobility: Siemens Receives Billion-Euro Order from ÖBB
Siemens Mobility's international mobility business has received an order from ÖBB. However, this is no longer just about classic train construction, but about modern technologies.
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) has awarded a €2.6 billion contract to Siemens Mobility and Hitachi Rail to digitalize its signal boxes. Siemens Mobility will receive around €1.3 billion of the contract, with the remainder going to Hitachi Rail. The first pilot operation is planned for 2030, with the new technology to be gradually introduced across Austria. The digital signal boxes are seen as a key technology for the future of rail, aiming to make train traffic in Austria more efficient, robust, and powerful.
