Rail transport, due to its high asset value and long asset lifespan, is a perfect case for the circular transformation of industries. Siemens Mobility has developed a full circular solution suite for rolling stock, unlocking both sustainability and cost-efficiency potentials. The suite covers the entire life cycle, focusing on three pillars of solutions. First, “doing more with less” – enhancing asset efficiency and availability through circular design and integrated business models. Second, implementing lifetime extension services from refurbishment to intelligent obsolescence and supply chain management. Finally, value recovery at the end of life for technical components, spare parts and materials, leveraging own technical expertise and MoBase marketplace,32 as well as a comprehensive ecosystem of suppliers, sustainable material companies and recyclers.
