西门子交通与 Amtrak 签订了历史性的34 亿美元大单
订单包括首款混合动力电池Venture列车
从2024年开始交付73列可持续且可靠的列车
包括预测性维护技术和实时数字监控
史上最大的北美西门子交通合同
西门子交通不久前在美国获得了34亿美元的合同，为美国国家铁路客运公司Amtrak设计、制造和技术支持73列混合动力列车，此外，还有可能增加多达140列车和进一步的维保协议。
“这些列车将为 Amtrak 及其乘客提供最新的可持续和智能铁路技术。我们相信混合动力电池和双动力列车将在美国减少排放和保护环境方面发挥重要作用。此外，通过我们的数字服务，Amtrak 将收到有关车辆运营的实时信息，使他们能够确保乘客安全高效地到达，”西门子交通首席执行官迈克尔彼得说。“Amtrak 的投资表明了美国致力于改善其铁路系统，为乘客提供更可持续的旅行选择。”
伴随制造合同还有覆盖技术支持、备件和材料长期供应的维保服务协议。这些列车包括无线通信、远程监控和完全集成的数字诊断，以提高可靠性。这些高级功能将使 Amtrak 能够测试和开发新技术并引入新的维护方法，以提高效率、提高可用性并降低长期成本。
该订单包括双动力和混合动力电池列车。第一列车将于2024年交付，而第一列Venture Hybrid 电池列车将于 2025 年开始测试。东北走廊和国家支持路线的列车将于 2024 年至 2030年交付。通过使用多电源系统，包括混合动力电池，与现有列车相比，它们还将通过减少排放来提供显著的环境效益。
最新列车将配备更舒适的座椅、独立电源插座和 USB 端口、车载 Wifi、增强型照明和全景窗户、更现代的餐饮服务体验，包括自助服务选项，以及最先进的客户旅行信息、数字座位预订系统和导航显示系统。列车的设计符合最新的健康和安全标准，包括增强型暖通空调、非接触式洗手间控制和自动化步骤。此外，它们的设计将采用 Amtrak 增强无障碍功能的新标准，包括感应式听力回路、无障碍洗手间和前厅、无障碍餐饮服务车以及为行动不便的乘客（包括轮椅使用者）提供的电梯。列车符合所有最新的安全法规和标准。
这些列车将在西门子交通于加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托的北美铁路制造工厂制造，并将符合美国标准。
Siemens Mobility awarded historic $3.4 billion in contracts from Amtrak
Order includes first of its kind hybrid battery Venture trains
73 sustainable, and reliable trains to be delivered starting in 2024
Includes predictive maintenance technology and real-time digital monitoring
Largest North American Siemens Mobility contract in history
Siemens Mobility has been awarded $3.4 billion in contracts in the United States to design, manufacture and technically support 73 multi-powered trains for Amtrak, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation which has transformed transportation by modernizing rail travel in the United States for the past 50 years. There is also a possibility for up to 140 additional trains and further maintenance agreements. The order is the Railroad’s latest endeavor to acquire the most sustainable and efficient trains on the market, which include dual powered and hybrid battery vehicles.
The trains will operate across the Northeast Corridor and across various state-supported routes, including operations in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. With expanded capacity and the ability to shorten trip time, Amtrak expects the new trains will add over 1.5 million riders annually.
“These new trains will reshape the future of rail travel by replacing our aging 40-to-50-year old fleet with state-of-the-art, American-made equipment,” said Amtrak CEO Bill Flynn. “This investment is essential to preserving Northeast Regional and state-supported services for the future and will allow our customers to travel comfortably and safely, while reducing carbon emissions.”
“These trains will offer Amtrak and its passengers the latest in sustainable and intelligent rail technology. We believe hybrid battery and dual powered trains will play an important role in reducing emissions and protecting the environment in the United States. In addition, through our digital services, Amtrak will receive real-time information about vehicle operations, allowing them to ensure that their passengers arrive safely and efficiently,” stated Michael Peter, CEO of Siemens Mobility. “Amtrak’s investment illustrates America’s commitment to enhancing its rail systems, offering passengers a more sustainable option for travel.”
Accompanying the manufacturing contract will be a long-term service agreement for technical support, spare parts and material supply. The trains include wireless communications, remote monitoring and fully integrated digital diagnostics for increased reliability. These advanced features will enable Amtrak to test and develop new technology and introduce new maintenance approaches to drive efficiency, increase availability and reduce long term costs.
The order includes dual power and hybrid battery trains. The first will be delivered in 2024, while the first of its kind Venture Hybrid battery train will begin testing in 2025. The trains for the Northeast Corridor and State Supported routes will be delivered from 2024 through 2030. Through the use of multi-power systems, including hybrid battery operation, they will also provide a substantial environmental benefit through reduced emissions compared to the existing fleet.
The latest trains will feature more comfortable seating, inpidual power outlets and USB ports, onboard Wifi, enhanced lighting and panoramic windows, a more contemporary food service experience, including self-service options, as well as state-of-the-art customer trip information, digital seat reservation system and navigation display systems. The trains were designed with the latest health and safety standards, including enhanced HVAC, touchless restroom controls, and automated steps. In addition, they will be designed with Amtrak’s new standard of enhanced accessible features, including inductive hearing loops, accessible restrooms and vestibules, accessible Food Service car, and lifts for customers with reduced mobility, including wheelchair users. The trains meet all the latest safety regulations and standards, providing improved structural safety.
The trains will be manufactured at Siemens Mobility’s North American rail manufacturing facility in Sacramento, California and will comply with the Federal Railroad Administration Buy America Standards. This year, the facility is celebrating its 30th anniversary of operations as it continues to add to its more than 2,100 team members. It is one of the largest plants of its kind on the continent, and one of the most sustainable, using a 2.1 MWp solar panel installation to generate much of its power from the California sun. Siemens Mobility designs and manufactures across the entire spectrum of rolling stock including passenger trains, light rail and streetcars, locomotives, and passenger coaches in Sacramento. Customer services and maintenance will be managed out of the Siemens Mobility’s U.S. headquarters for maintenance and repair operations 60,000 square-foot McClellan Park plant, also located in Sacramento.
