And you can be certain that your fleet will be equipped for comfortable, low-emission, and energy-efficient travel far into the future. Locomotives ES64F4 (BR 189), Germany The future of cross-border traffic As European countries become more close-knit, there is an increasing demand for locomotives that can operate across borders. By equipping them with ETCS, ATB, and SCMT train protection systems, the customer prepared its 160 type ES64F4 locomotives for Europe s corridors. Refurbishment also included adapting the electrical and mechanical systems, installing and assembling components as well as commissioning and documentation. Metro São Paulo, Brazil Extending the fleet life The complete renovation of this fleet meant bringing the vehicles up to the technological state of the art. With this project, Siemens not only extended the service life of the systems but increased passenger capacity by eliminating the central driver s cabs. Sub-systems such as the traction unit, on-board power supply, entrance doors, air conditioning, compressed air supply, fire alarm, passenger information system and CCTV were completely replaced with new, modern systems. Desiro UK Class 450, United Kingdom Increasing passenger capacity In order to keep pace with growing numbers of passengers, the customer opted for a complete redesign of the vehicle interiors. On the basis of a sophisticated floor-plan design, Siemens developed a logical conversion package for this renovation. In addition to replacing the tables, seats, and waste containers, the plan also included refurbishment of the doors and floors and installation of additional handrails. 4

5 Technology retrofit: By retrofitting train protection systems (ETCS, ATB, SCMT), type ES64F4 locomotives can be upgraded for cross-border deployment.

Guadalajara mass transit, Mexico Reliable, standardized train sets The conversion of the present drive system from DC to AC allowed the customer SITEUR to combine the vehicles with other AC train sets in the future. At the same time, the use of new AC drive motors meant a standardized supply of spare parts for the entire vehicle fleet. As part of the refurbishment, a modern traction and braking control system was also installed. 5
