Siemens Mobility Increases Investment in U.K. Rail Assembly Plant

By Pierre Bertrand

 

Siemens Mobility, the transport and rail division of German industrial company Siemens, said it will increase its investment in its East Yorkshire Goole Rail Village in the U.K.

Siemens Mobility said that it will invest up to 47 million euros ($51.9 million) in a site that will assemble and overhaul railroad truck chassis.

The facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2026 and will enable the company to expand its capabilities, including new production lines for assembling chassis for new trains.

The investment adds to the up to 230 million euros invested in the now open train manufacturing facility at the village. The village will assemble 80% of London's new Piccadilly metro line trains, which are slated to enter service from 2025.
