Mireo Plus B decarbonizes European railroads with its battery power

15 November 2021 (Germany)
Because it is extremely simple to power trains with electricity, whether from overhead catenary or contact rails,
railroads are one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transportation.
For regional or local routes, electrification isn't always an option, thus Siemens has created Mireo Plus,
a new platform that enables operators to completely decarbonize these operations quickly and affordably.
Only around 50% of the routes in Germany are electrified.
Siemens, which has built electric trains for many years (Siemens was the major proponent of them in the 20th century),
has built the Mireo Plus from the bottom up to provide flexibility, range, and efficiency.
