Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries: "We have the right technologies. We need to use and scale them. We as an industry must fundamentally change. We must become more transparent and open to cooperation. Make better use of data. Siemens is ready. And we are ready to accompany our customers on this path.".

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today that AISIN Corporation, a component supplier to many of the world’s largest automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), has expanded its investment in Siemens’ Capital VSTAR software portfolio.

Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced that Daimler Truck has adopted Siemens’ Simcenter STAR-CCM+ software to develop next-generation, CO2-neutral vehicles. Simcenter, part of Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio, will provide Daimler Truck with the leading-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution it needs to transform its CAE development process to a full digital twin-driven multiphysics environment.

Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced it has collaborated with United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) to develop process design kits (PDKs) for the foundry‘s 110-nanometer (nm) and 180-nm BCD technology platforms. The new PDKs for UMC, which is a leading semiconductor foundry focused on logic and specialty technologies, are optimized for Siemens EDA’s Tanner custom design flow software, enabling innovative designs for a wide variety of integrated circuits (ICs) used in automotive and power applications.

One of Australia’s leading bus manufacturers, Custom Denning, has selected Siemens’ electric bus charging stations and digital depot management solution forits fleet of fully Australian designed and built Element electric buses. The charging stations will support the bus manufacturer’s prototype electric buses and be available for future eBus orders of its customers.

For Siemens, it’s a home game of a special kind: taking as its motto #MoveToTransform, the company is exhibiting at the IAA Mobility 2021, which is being held for the first time in Munich, Bavaria’s capital and Siemens’ hometown. As a focused technology company, Siemens is presenting a holistic look at mobility for today and for the future. The focus is on how the real and digital worlds are combined in technical products and digital solutions to make industry, infrastructure and transportation more intelligent, efficient and sustainable.

Two months before experts from around the world arrive in Hamburg to explore the future of mobility at the ITS World Congress, residents of Hamburg can get a personal taste of it beginning today. The self-driving minibus of the HEAT (Hamburg Electric Autonomous Transportation) project inaugurated public service in HafenCity today in the presence of Hamburg Mayor Dr. Peter Tschentscher.

Siemens Mobility and everis have been awarded a 5-year contract by Renfe, the national railway company of Spain, to develop and operate a countrywide, intelligent Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platform. The comprehensive digital platform will integrate various modes of shared and public transport, such as train, bicycle, metro, bus, car sharing, and scooter services, so passengers can easily identify and directly book the trip option that best meets their needs. Once completed, the platform will be available in 27 cities across Spain including metropolitan areas like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, and Sevilla.

Siemens Mobility and Continental Engineering Services (CES) will cooperate in the future on the development and manufacture of pantographs for trucks. The eHighway technology from Siemens Mobility supplies trucks with electricity via an overhead line. The cooperation aims to electrify key stretches of highway-networks in Germany’s autobahn network with overhead contact lines and thus significantly reduce CO 2 emissions from trucks. The new partnership combines expertise from two technology worlds: Siemens Mobility is a specialist in rail electrification, Continental Engineering Services is a development and production service provider for automotive technologies. The two companies will now pool their know-how to quickly achieve series production of truck pantographs.

Siemens has been awarded a contract from the Zurich Public Transport Authority (VBZ) to supply, install and commission 45 eBus charging stations, type Sicharge UC.
