Siemens’ Charger diesel-electric locomotives will power more capacity on the growing Altamont Corridor Express (ACE®) service

Siemens and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) are conducting a one-mile, zero-emission eHighway demonstration in Carson, Calif., near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Three big-rig trucks hauling freight are running along the stretch of highway that uses Siemens technology to electrify select highway lanes via an overhead catenary system.

Siemens has been chosen by Mid-Coast Transit Constructors to provide the San Diego Metropolitan Transportation System (SDMTS) with technologies that will automate and power the region’s Mid-Coast Corridor light rail extension project. These 10.9 miles of new light rail commuter lines will provide riders additional access into the city while reducing traffic congestion.

Traffic Technology Services, Inc. (TTS) and Siemens USA have finalized an agreement to expand TTS’ partner network for supporting connected and autonomous vehicle operations near signalized intersections.  Starting this month, select Siemens TACTICS ATMS systems, an advanced traffic control hardware and software platform, will supply traffic signal data to TTS cloud-based services to support connected vehicle applications for safety, mobility, and the environment.
