The production of the first type of Vectron for a non-European customer is proceeding relatively inconspicuously.

Deliveries of additional Smartrons for the Northrail pool were completed in May 2025.

Siemens has announced that the Austrian construction company Swietelsky has taken delivery of the first of the Vectron Dual Mode locomotives ordered and that it will also order these machines in 15 + 25 kV version in the future.

As part of its fleet renewal, Indian Railways will also start receiving locomotives from a 1,200-strong contract  signed with Siemens in January 2023.

Almost exactly one year later, Praha main station experienced another milestone in the ComfortJet project: while on 9 April 2024 the first train, the then temporarily configured eight-car unit, was officially presented here for the first time, on 14 April 2025 the complete nine-car unit ran from the same station for its first passenger service.

In 2024, Siemens Mobility sold over 360 Vectrons, the plan is now to produce 385 Vectrons annually to meet the growing demand for locomotives and associated services.

On 4 April 2025, Green Mobility Partners (GMP) handed over the first two Vectrons to their tenants, IDS CARGO and CT-Train.

By the end of February 2025, Vectrons from another ÖBB option were gradually put into service.

On 30 January 2025, Siemens Mobility has signed a major framework agreement for 50 Vectrons with RIVE Private Investment.

Siemens Mobility also presented the Mireo Smart EMU, a new standardised regional train platform, the development of which was announced in 2020.

On 24 September, Siemens Mobility presented first Velaro high-speed train for Egypt.

At the end of 2024, ÖBB has ordered a further 30 Mireos for commuter and regional transport from Siemens Mobility.

Siemens Mobility has received its first order for Vectrons equipped with a battery module.

Two ComfortJet units are now present in the VUZ test centre.
