“We look forward to working with our industry and academic partners, and Rail Alliance SME members to develop the railway supply chain in the region.” “Our involvement in this project provides the university with an opportunity to expand its reach in the area of railway innovation into the HEY LEP region, by providing a regional hub for Rail Alliance, our rail business support community.

Professor Clive Roberts, professor of Railway Systems and head of the School of Engineering at the University of Birmingham, said: “We are delighted to be working with Siemens Mobility, East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the HEY LEP on this exciting initiative. In conjunction with the £200m Siemens Mobility manufacturing facility which is currently under construction, this exciting partnership between industry, academia and the public sector will help create a ‘Rail Village’ concept that will attract further added value activity from the wider supply chain. The collaboration between Siemens Mobility and the University of Birmingham will be carried out in phase 2 of the project. This £8.1million project has secured £1.5m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and £1m from the Getting Building Fund, via the Hull and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership (HEY LEP), to help finance the project. The first phase of the development, is being delivered by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and is expected to be completed by late 2021/early 2022. The development will include a £50m centre of excellence developed between Siemens Mobility and the University of Birmingham.Ĭalled the Rail, accelerator and innovation solutions hub for Enterprise (RaisE), the development will provide 3,200 square metres of commercial floor space made up of grade-A office and workshop accommodation, high quality conferencing facilities, and a communal café hub that will act as a focal point for the business park. Work has started on a new multi-million-pound rail research and innovation facility on the site of Siemens Mobility’s new manufacturing site in Goole, East Yorkshire.

the full range of vehicles for rail traffic: Regional, as well as intercity and high speed trains, metro cars, streetcars and light rail, passenger coaches, driverless vehicles and locomotives.The portfolio of Siemens Mobility includes We work with our customers to develop optimal solutions to help overcome their challenges. They have the know-how to make road traffic flow more smoothly and quickly, make trains more environmentally friendly and efficient, make train schedules and freight shipments more reliable. Siemens Mobility provides answers to all of these questions with its comprehensive portfolio because modern, interconnected and IT-based mobility is the core competency of its five business units: Rail Infrastructure, Turnkey, Rolling Stock, Customer Services and Intelligent Traffic Systems. This applies, in particular, to the transport and logistics facilities of cities: Will cities be able to solve the problems caused by increasing road traffic? Can public transportation help them avoid total gridlock? How can railway operators increase the efficiency and safety of their systems? How can rail and road traffic be integrated? How can logistics supply chains be further optimized as freight volumes continue to increase steadily? Transporting people and goods to all corners of the earth presents challenges for the infrastructure of national economies. The demand for mobility is growing all over the world.
