Siemens eMobility announced its latest advancements at the IAA Transportation 2024 in Hanover. For the first time, Heliox and Siemens products were showcased together, highlighting a comprehensive portfolio that includes hardware, software, services, and complete solutions.

Siemens eMobility has significantly enhanced its IoT product portfolio and digitalization offerings with the acquisition of Heliox. This strategic move strengthens Siemens’ position in depot and fleet charging, enabling flexible implementation of large and complex projects. 
 
Siemens supports Hamburger Hochbahn AG’s mission for a completely emission-free bus fleet by 2030. Siemens has supplied 324 charging points with a capacity of around 50 MW, while Heliox has added 229 charging points. This collaboration results in 553 charging points, significantly reducing CO2 emissions from public transport in the greater Hamburg area.

Siemens and E.ON Drive Infrastructure have signed a global framework agreement to expand the E.ON public charging network. The agreement includes SICHARGE D fast charging stations and backend access via Sifinity Control, maximizing reliability and availability for E.ON customers.

Siemens AG Austria and OMV Downstream GmbH have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to reduce CO2 emissions in heavy transport and logistics. The partnership aims to implement innovative solutions for the electrification of vehicle depots, addressing current and future mobility needs. 

Siemens eMobility at IAA

At IAA Transportation, Siemens eMobility showcased its latest charging technologies, including the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) prototype, which delivered a 1 MW charge. The SICHARGE D 400, a DC fast charging compact charger with power up to 400 kW, features liquid-cooled cables, dynamic power distribution, and high efficiency.

Siemens’ software solutions, such as DepotFinity, support efficient management of depots and fleets, optimizing charging infrastructure and reducing costs. DepotFinity maximizes battery-powered kilometers, lowers operating costs, and integrates smoothly into existing depots. Siemens eMobility offers a range of services to ensure maximum uptime, from installation and commissioning to long-term operation. Remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and comprehensive training are part of Siemens’ commitment to quality and reliability in e-mobility.

At the IAA Siemens also launched to the German market its Depot360 portfolio, including Depot360 CaaS (Charging-as-a-Service) and Managed Services. Depot360 CaaS will provide a turnkey solution with zero upfront investment, streamlining fleet transition to electric vehicles. It will offer consultation, financing, depot design, construction, commissioning, and operations management. With 24/7 active monitoring, an AI-driven platform, and onsite services, it ensures operational continuity. Customers benefit from lower energy costs, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and mitigated financial and operational risks. Depot360 is also available in the US, Canada, France, the UK, and Norway
