Albrecht Neumann, CEO of rolling stock at Siemens Mobility, said: “The Mireo Smart is a response to the challenges of a constantly changing transportation landscape and the growing popularity of mobility by rail. 

“We offer rail operators a preconfigured train that can be delivered within a very short time and that guarantees high reliability and availability.” 

Alongside the train’s environmental benefits, the company is also highlighting the speedy procurement process for the product, which Siemens Mobility claimed takes a maximum of 18 months between placing an order and beginning operations.

Siemens has also launched the rolling stock with alternative drive systems and is hoping the train will become a suitable option for operators looking for a quick way of expanding their fleets.
