Siemens - Innovative Electric and Diesel-Electric Locomotives

Through its concept of 'complete mobility' Siemens offers sustainable mobility solutions that provide a network for various transportation systems, in order to transport people and goods with greater efficiency, safety and environmental friendliness.

Siemens is the only company globally that has all the competencies required for this – from operating systems for railways and road traffic, to traction power supplies and rolling stock for mass transit, regional and mainline services, to airport logistics and postal automation.

Locomotives from Siemens

From the world's first electric locomotive to the present peak of technological development, Siemens has placed many successful locomotives on the track. In 1897, Werner von Siemens presented the world's first electric locomotive at the Berlin Industrial Exhibition.

Since then, Siemens technology has been a guarantee for reliable and state-of-the-art locomotives all over the world.

Platform locomotives

The Eurosprinter family has been setting standards in the electric locomotive segment since 1993. The versatile vehicle concept encompasses not only heavy freight locomotives but also those needed for fast passenger service. With our innovative four-system European locomotives, we are making a solid contribution to the opening of the European rail network.

With the diesel-electric Eurorunner platform, we provide our customers with highly modern locomotives that are economically efficient, reliable and environment-friendly and suitable for a wide variety of transport applications – from powerful freight units to passenger locomotives.

The Asiarunner platform was specially developed for the many special features of the markets in Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. Powered by a diesel-electric traction system, the locomotive is characterised by its highly flexible concept, which accommodates a large number of structure clearance gauges and the required low axle loads.

Customized locomotives

Platform locomotives can of course not cover every application worldwide. Our expertise enables us to provide locomotives fitting every customer’s needs. Recent examples are our narrow gauge heavy haul electric locomotives for Australian customers Queensland Rail and Pacific National.

Components for locomotives

Besides state-of-the-art locomotives we offer the complete range of electrical components and systems for modern rail vehicles worldwide.
