High-Speed Rail:
Going green at speeds up to 220 mph!

Mobility
Siemens is ready to bring its leading
high-speed rail systems to the U.S.
and build them here using
sustainable, environmentally friendly
technologies and processes.

Siemens has trains operating on some of the most successful rail

lines in the world, including Germany, Spain, Russia and China.

High-speed rail stimulates the economy, as it creates jobs to build it,

and countless support businesses and jobs that will benefit once the
system is up and running.

The Mobility Division of Siemens is already addressing what the

Obama administration aims to do by:

- Providing zero-emission transportation options for moving

people and goods
- Creating jobs
- Manufacturing with many green technologies and products
- Expanding business operations

Siemens has taken concrete steps to expand its manufacturing

capacity in the U.S. to meet the demand for diverse urban mobility
and infrastructure solutions, ranging from light and high-speed
rail to enhanced signaling and safe systems as well as intelligent
traffic systems.
Smaller Footprints, Bigger Results
- Siemens‘ portfolio of environmental products is the world’s largest ($28
billion in fiscal 2009) and will help our customers reduce their carbon
emissions by 275 million tons by 2011.
- While our high-speed trains contribute to lowering emissions, we won’t
stop there. We are currently developing a concept for a high-speed rail
system that would have a totally carbon neutral footprint. That’s right:
very fast trains powered by renewable energy sources—entirely built by
Siemens. We have what it takes.

Proud to be an American Company

- Siemens employs more than 60,000 people in the U.S. at more than 700
locations in all 50 states, making us one of the largest and most diverse
manufacturing companies in America and a Fortune 150 company.
- Siemens Mobility in the U.S. employs more than 2,000 people at more
than a dozen locations in seven states and is a leading provider in North
America of light rail vehicles, rail automation, signaling and
electrification, intelligent traffic solutions and infrastructure logistics.
- Siemens Mobility is ready today to help realize the dream of a high-speed
rail network built in America by Americans for everyone.
Environmental and Economic Benefits for the U.S.
High-speed rail systems, as part of an upgraded and intermodal
urban transportation infrastructure, hold great promise for both
the American economy and environment. For example:
- Intercity passenger trains produce two-thirds less CO2 per
passenger mile than a car or truck and one-half of an airplane.
- Intercity passenger rail consumes 17 percent less energy per
passenger mile than airlines and 21 percent less energy per
passenger mile than cars.
- Just a 10 percent shift from surface transportation to rail transit
would save the equivalent of the entire amount of oil imported
from Saudi Arabia in one year: 550 million barrels.
- Economically, building high-speed rail networks in major urban
centers would create tens of thousands of new, permanent jobs
and add billions of dollars to the local economies over the
long term.
- A 2010 economic impact study of the U.S. Conference of Mayors
concluded that high-speed rail networks would add significant
economic growth by 2035 to cities that build them (cities
included Los Angeles, Orlando, Chicago and Albany).

Velaro and Viaggio:

Flexibly Fast Systems for Every U.S. Corridor
Depending on where it is built and the type of track required, high-
speed rail in the U.S. could be operated at speeds from 110 mph up
to 220 mph, and everywhere in between. Siemens has the world’s
leading train technologies to meet these diverse requirements:

 - The Velaro is the world’s fastest series-produced trainset, with top speeds
of 220 mph. Already in operation in Germany, Spain, Russia and China,
the Velaro is the perfect choice for the high-speed systems planned for
Florida and California.
- Energy efficient, the Velaro has a fuel consumption of nearly 700 miles
per gallon per passenger seat, making it one of the most
environmentally friendly high-speed trains on the market today.
- One part of the high-speed vision for Chicago and the Midwest calls for a
train that can run on existing tracks that are upgraded and also used by
freight rail. With a top speed of 150 mph, our Viaggio train, currently in
operation in Austria, is the perfect partner for the Midwest.
- The Viaggio can run on existing tracks in the U.S. and also quickly
decelerate in curves. Our push-pull Viaggio system is the only high-
power intercity train capable of running on diesel and electric traction
without any modification of the passengers‘ cars.

Financing HSR with PPPs

- Building America’s high-speed rail network will require diverse sources
of funding ranging from federal and state government participation to
long-term private sector involvement through public-private
partnerships (PPP). Siemens brings to the table its financial know-
how and proven track record of successful PPP-based rail projects in
Europe, the U.S. and worldwide.
- High-speed rail systems are long-term projects that demand the most
financially stable partners for PPP collaboration. With more than 160
years in business and $100 billion in annual revenue, Siemens can help
finance high-speed rail systems through its financial arm, Siemens
Financial Services, or through other subsidiaries such as Siemens
Project Ventures.

 Nearly invisible carbon footprint
More than 90 percent of the electricity used by the
Siemens manufacturing facility is replaced by what it
captures from the sun.

Dry cut welding – no water waste

Siemens dramatically reduced its water waste by using
a special dry-cut welding technology that requires no
water disposal.

One-stop
manufacturing shop
Siemens’ Sacramento facility
can do it all from start to finish:
light rail vehicles, street cars, diesel
multiple units and high speed rail.

• As Siemens continues to expand its Sacramento

manufacturing facility, the company has the
flexibility to produce a wider array of products
to respond to America’s rail renaissance.

• With planned future expansions, Siemens

could add up to 250,000 square feet of additional
manufacturing space, for a total of 550,000 square
feet, and up to 1,700 direct employees.
More production / less waste
New technologies and practices have reduced volatile
organic compound (VOC) waste by more than 50 percent,
while production has increased by more than 200 percent
in fewer than three years.

Value-added manufacturing
With all aspects of the manufacturing process taking place
at one facility, Siemens offers customers unparalleled
access that is nearly unheard of elsewhere in the U.S. This
vertical integration offers optimum project management
and quality, from start to finish.

Diversity spoken here

Siemens draws skilled employees from a multitude of
cultures and backgrounds, with more than 26 different
languages spoken.

High-tech training
A special, on-site welding training center evaluates new
recruits and offers veteran welders the opportunity for
continued growth and advanced certification.

Radical recycling
Up to 82 percent of all the non-food/wet waste materials
from the entire Sacramento plant are sent for sorting and
recycling, and all emptied 55-gallon drums on the property
are either sent back to the supplier for reuse or recycled
into scrap metal.
