Siemens Canada, Tree Canada and Otonabee Conservation launch tree planting initiative in Keene. By Freq 90.5/Oldies 96.7 News staff Jun 26, 2026 | 6:05 AM Employees from Siemens Canada in Peterborough joined Tree Canada and Otonabee Conservation to plant 70 native trees at the Otonabee and Monaghan Court Seniors residence in Keene on June 10. The event marked the first phase of planting at the property in partnership with the Otonabee Municipal Nonprofit Housing Corporation. The planting initiative aims to enhance biodiversity and improve wildlife habitat by planting native species of trees in shrubs in two phases to be completed in the Spring and Fall of 2026. The selected native tree and shrub species are well suited to local growing conditions and will contribute to a healthier and more resilient landscape for years to come. This event continues a long-standing partnership between Siemens Canada, Tree Canada and Otonabee Conservation that began in 2012. "This partnership with Siemens Canada has created a lasting positive impact across our watershed over more than a decade," said Janette Loveys Smith, CAO at Otonabee Conservation. "Together, we have restored habitat, improved biodiversity and strengthened community stewardship through hands-on environmental projects. It is inspiring to see Siemens employees dedicate their time and energy to initiatives that leave a meaningful legacy for both people and wildlife." Otonabee Conservation notes that planting trees has many benefits including improving air and water quality, reducing erosion, providing shade and cooling benefits and supporting climate change adaptation efforts throughout the region. Over the past 14 years, employees and volunteers have helped plant more than 2,000 native trees and shrubs at a variety of locations throughout the watershed. "Since 2012, Siemens employees have helped plant thousands of trees in the Peterborough area and more than 16,000 trees across Canada," said Ian Almond of Siemens Canada. "Supporting greener, healthier communities where we live and work is something we're proud to be part of, and we're thankful for the strong partnerships that continue to make these efforts possible."

Siemens secures contract from Titagarh to supply Propulsion Systems and TCMS for Pune Metro Trainsets. June 16, 2026 In a major boost to India's urban mobility sector, Siemens Limited has secured an order from Titagarh Rail Systems Limited to supply advanced propulsion and train control systems for the Pune Metro extension. The collaboration strengthens local manufacturing, promotes indigenous technology development, and supports the nation's sustainable transportation goals. Introduction: India's urban transportation sector has received another significant boost with Siemens Limited securing an order from Titagarh Rail Systems Limited for the Pune Metro Rail Project extension. The contract covers the supply of advanced propulsion systems and Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS) for 12 metro trainsets, further strengthening the country's growing metro rail infrastructure. The project represents an important milestone for both companies as they join forces to deliver reliable, energy-efficient, and technologically advanced solutions for urban mobility. With metro networks expanding rapidly across India, the need for modern and locally manufactured rail technologies continues to grow. Scope of the Order: Under the agreement, Siemens will undertake the design, manufacture, supply, and warranty of critical propulsion and control equipment required for the metro trains. The scope includes: * Traction converters * Auxiliary converters * Traction motors * Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS) * Support for 12 metro trainsets These systems play a crucial role in ensuring efficient train operations, improved energy management, enhanced passenger safety, and real-time monitoring of train performance. Strengthening 'Make in India': A key highlight of the project is its strong alignment with the Government of India's "Make in India" initiative. Siemens plans to leverage its manufacturing and engineering capabilities in India, particularly through its regional footprint in Maharashtra, to deliver the project. The partnership reflects the company's commitment to supporting India's rapidly expanding metro market with advanced propulsion and TCMS technologies. As investments in sustainable urban transport continue to rise, developing a strong domestic manufacturing and technology ecosystem becomes increasingly important. Titagarh's Focus on Localization: For Titagarh Rail Systems, the Pune Metro project carries special significance. The company views the project as a landmark achievement in its passenger rail business journey. Pune Metro marked Titagarh's entry into the passenger rail systems segment and introduced India's first aluminium-bodied metro coaches. The partnership with Siemens reinforces the company's commitment to near-complete localisation of advanced rail technologies. The additional contract will further strengthen India's aluminium train manufacturing ecosystem and support the development of indigenous railway capabilities. Impact on Urban Mobility: The collaboration is expected to contribute significantly to India's urban transportation landscape by: * Promoting indigenous manufacturing capabilities * Enhancing metro train performance and reliability * Supporting sustainable and energy-efficient transport solutions * Creating opportunities for technology transfer and skill development * Strengthening India's self-reliance in advanced rail systems As metro projects continue to expand across major Indian cities, partnerships between technology providers and rolling stock manufacturers will play a vital role in accelerating innovation and localization. Rajeev Joisar, Chief Executive Officer, Mobility Business, Siemens Limited, said, "We are pleased to partner with Titagarh Rail Systems Limited on the Pune Metro project. This collaboration is an important step in our journey to support India's rapidly growing metro market with advanced Propulsion and TCMS technologies. As India continues to invest in sustainable urban transportation, the development of a strong local manufacturing and technology ecosystem becomes increasingly important. Aligned with the Make in India initiative, we are committed to develop these advanced technologies by leveraging Siemens' strong manufacturing and engineering footprint in India." Umesh Chowdhary, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Titagarh Rail Systems Limited, said, "We are delighted to partner with Siemens on the Pune Metro project, for advanced indigenous propulsion systems, reinforcing our strong commitment to Make in India through near-complete localisation. Pune Metro always holds a special place for us, as it marks Titagarh's entry into the passenger rail systems space and the introduction of India's first aluminium-bodied metro coaches. This additional option contract further strengthens the aluminium train ecosystem in the country. Together, this partnership will accelerate indigenisation and serves as a great start to a long potential partnership between Titagarh Rail Systems Limited & Siemens for the Indian urban mobility landscape". Conclusion: The Siemens-Titagarh partnership for the Pune Metro extension marks another step forward in India's urban mobility transformation. By combining advanced propulsion technologies with strong local manufacturing capabilities, the project supports sustainable transportation, promotes indigenisation, and reinforces the country's vision of building a world-class, self-reliant rail ecosystem.
