Siemens Mobility is constructing its first Rail Service Centre in Poland, a 4,300 square metre facility set to open in 2027 to serve Central and Eastern Europe.
Siemens Mobility is expanding its European rail service network with its first Rail Service Centre in Poland, located in Gądki near Poznań. The depot is scheduled to open in 2027 and will provide maintenance services for locomotives operating in Poland and across Central and Eastern Europe.
The 4,300 square metre facility will accommodate up to seven locomotives simultaneously and will include around five kilometres of electrified tracks, maintenance equipment including an underfloor wheel lathe and a dropping table, and a dedicated testing area. Service operations will be based on Railigent X, Siemens Mobility’s suite of applications and services, which is designed to optimise maintenance processes and maximise fleet availability. The depot will become an integral part of Siemens Mobility’s European service network for locomotives, further strengthening its global service footprint.
Elmar Zeiler, CEO Customer Services at Siemens Mobility, said: “With our first Rail Service Centre in Poland, we are expanding our service network in a strategically important European rail market, to provide best-in-class service based on the latest technologies… this investment further strengthens our service capabilities, enabling us to provide reliable support throughout the entire lifecycle while creating the foundation for the further development of our service business in Europe.”
Expanding Siemens Mobility’s global service network
Siemens Mobility operates one of the rail industry’s largest global service networks, supporting customers throughout the lifecycle of their rail systems with the aim of maximising fleet availability and operational efficiency. The new Poland facility will expand maintenance capabilities across Central and Eastern Europe and provide customers with faster, more flexible access to service capacity. It will offer both light and heavy maintenance, covering scheduled inspections, safety system maintenance, major overhauls, modifications, accident repairs and mobile service. The facility is also planned to operate carbon neutrally.
Siemens Mobility already has more than 15 years of experience in locomotive maintenance in Poland, where a team of more than 60 specialists supports several hundred locomotives annually, including Vectron, Taurus and BR189-F4 vehicles. Maintenance activities are supported by Railigent X and other digital tools for fleet and spare-parts management, alongside ECM certification held in Poland since 2021.
The development of the new Rail Service Centre is supported by local and regional partners, including the Marshal’s Office of the Wielkopolska Voivodeship, the Municipality of Kórnik and the Zakłady Kórnickie Foundation, and is intended to strengthen local rail expertise and support the continued growth of sustainable rail transport across the region.
