Siemens Mobility to Supply 30 Additional Mireo Trains to ÖBB

Siemens Mobility has secured an order from ÖBB to supply an additional 30 Mireo commuter trains in Austria.

The order, which consists of 25 three-car and five four-car trains, is part of an existing framework agreement and follows the procurement of 70 trains in the previous year. Once delivered, this will bring the total number of Mireo trains in ÖBB’s fleet to 100.

The newly ordered units are expected to enter passenger service in 2029.

The Mireo trains are designed for commuter and regional transport and will operate in Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic. They are equipped with the European Train Control System (ETCS) and can reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h.

Andre Rodenbeck, CEO Rolling Stock Siemens Mobility, said:

We are delighted to be supporting ÖBB with now 100 Mireo trains in its program to modernize local and regional rail transport in Austria. Our popular and reliable Mireo trains, of which Siemens Mobility has already sold over 550 trains for 23 fleets, combine high cost-effectiveness and increased fleet efficiency with modern functionalities and a high level of comfort and convenience. Their design contributes to a pleasant travel experience and ultimately satisfied passengers.

The trains incorporate a range of design elements intended to enhance the travel experience. These include air conditioning, WLAN service, barrier-free entrances, power sockets, and dedicated spaces for bicycles, wheelchairs, baby carriages, skis, and snowboards.

The new ÖBB trains will feature a wider carriage design compared to previous Mireo models to optimise passenger capacity and accessibility.
