No positions available for Siemens Mobility in Germany. Deutsche Bahn (DB), Germany’s SNCF, has decided to pit its national supplier against France’s Alstom as part of tenders for its future TGV. After initial competition, two manufacturers were awarded the contract “Each has to develop an independent concept car in cooperation with DB”He said, this Tuesday, November 15.
These TGVs of the future will follow the ICE 3 high-speed train fleet designed by Siemens Mobility from 2030. These new trains must reach a maximum length of 400 meters and a speed of at least 300 km/h. In terms of passenger capacity, they will be among the largest, carrying 950 passengers compared to the ICE 3neo’s 439 for the latest TGVs. That, “Establishing new standards of energy efficiency and technical availability”.DB claims.
Alstom Transport Deutschland, a subsidiary of the French TGV constructor, will lead this project, which will mobilize:more than 100 specialized engineersto present the concept of the TGV of the future. With the acquisition of Bombardier Transport, Alstom has strengthened its position in Germany by inheriting a large industrial site based in Hennigsdorf, north of Berlin. Therefore, choosing Alstom will benefit the local economy.
But nothing has been decided yet. After studying the two proposed concepts, in the second half of 2023 the WB will launch another tender, which will focus on “the development, construction and qualification of a new fleet“. It will be open to manufacturers other than Alstom and Siemens Mobility, DB said.
