Today is #WorldSustainableTransportDay -– the perfect moment to reflect on how we can support safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly mobility. 🚆🌱 Rail is a powerful pathway to achieving net-zero emissions. With alternative traction technologies such as battery and hydrogen-powered trains, the sector is moving light years ahead with carbon-intensive diesel-powered rolling stock. A great example of the transition to sustainable rail transport can be found in the Westerwald region of Germany. Since May, three new battery-powered electric vehicles from Siemens Mobility have been in operation on the Upper and Lower Westerwald lines, replacing the older diesel models. Thanks to the batteries, the trains can cover distances that do not yet have overhead lines, enabling emission-free travel even on non-electrified routes. 🙌 Through Siemens Bank, we provided tailored financing for Hessische Landesbahn to acquire these three state-of-the-art Mireo Plus B trains. #TransformMobilityForEveryone #Financing
