📋 Tender Overview
Low-emission rail transport between Remscheid and the regional capital Dusseldorf
Environmentally friendly battery trains replace previously used diesel trains at Regiobahn
The battery trains are being put on track in record time by Smart Train Lease
A milestone for mobility transition in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW): The new, low-emission Mireo Smart Plus B battery trains for Regiobahn were officially presented today at Siemens Mobilitys test center in Wegberg-Wildenrath. With their upcoming deployment on the RE 47 line between Remscheid-Lennep and Dusseldorf Central Station from summer 2026, Regiobahn is setting a strong example for climate-neutral mobility. The three innovative, two-car battery trains from Siemens Mobility represent a sustainable future for regional mobility and bring NRW a decisive step closer to the desired transport transition.
The three new battery trains, with a range of up to 120 kilometers and a top speed of 140 km/h, replace the previously operating diesel vehicles, enabling almost emission-free rail transport on this important commuter route. Through collaboration with Smart Train Lease, a specialist in rail vehicle solutions, the procurement could be realized quickly and efficiently.
