Siemens Mobility has been a leader in transport solutions for more than 160 years. Innovations like the world’s first electric train started in 1879 when Siemens & Halske presented the train in which power was supplied through the rails and the worlds first electric tram that came in 1881 with the implementation of 2.5-kilometer-long electric tramway located in Berlin built at its own expense cemented the use of electric power in transportation systems.
In the following years inventions like the first electric trolleybus, mine locomotives and the first underground railway in continental Europe, in Budapest, set the path from trams and subways to today’s high-speed trains.[8]
On November 2012, Siemens acquired Invensys Rail for 1.7 billion pounds sterling.[11]
On July 2017, Siemens confirmed it has taken over, Hannover-based software company HaCon to be managed as a separate legal entity. The financial details were not disclosed.[12]
On September 2017, Siemens AG announced a proposal to merge its transportation division, Mobility, with Alstom, with the objective of creating "a new European champion in the rail industry".[13] The combined rail business, to be named Siemens Alstom and headquartered in Paris, would have $18 billion U.S. in revenue and would employ 62,300 people in more than 60 countries.[14] Seen as a measure to counter the rise of China's CRRC with support from both the French and German governments.[15]
