That’s unsettling for the likes of Siemens, $62 billion carmaker Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and $39 billion chemicals group BASF (BASFn.DE). Factor in the German group’s 32% stake in Siemens Energy (ENR1n.DE) and 75% holding in Siemens Healthineers (SHLG.DE), currently worth 46 billion euros, and it adds up to 156 billion euros. The unit and Siemens’ Airport Logistics unit, which press reports say could be another divestment candidate, may only be worth 4 billion euros combined. Moreover, Kaeser already tried to boost Siemens’ valuation by partially spinning off subsidiaries. As of September, Siemens had bought back 2.5 billion euros of shares since starting a 3 billion euro share repurchase programme in November 2021.

По словам инженеров, такой транспорт сможет развивать скорость до 620 км/ч. В китайском городе Чэнду прошла торжественная презентация поезда на магнитной подушке, в котором использована технология высокотемпературной сверхпроводимости (HTS Maglev). Инженеры из Юго-западного университета Цзяотун утверждают, что поезд сможет разгоняться до 620 км/ч. Если все испытания пройдут успешно, то в будущем подобные поезда интегрируют в сеть тоннелей, где транспорт может развивать скорость более 1000 км/ч. Что касается в целом поездов на магнитной подвеске, то их эксплуатация возможна благодаря мощным магнитам, расположенным под вагоном и под самими рельсами.

Таншаньская локомотивостроительная компания (Tangshan Co., входит в состав CRRC) выпустила грузовой поезд, способный разгоняться до 350 км/ч, сообщает "Синьхуа". Компания-производитель утверждает, что в мире нет аналогов этому поезду, передает interfax.ruВ отличие от пассажирских сверхскоростных поездов грузовой состав снабжен более широкими дверями: их ширина составляет 2,9 метра. Форма локомотива напоминает очертания китайского осетра, что улучшает его аэродинамические свойства, отмечает агентство. При разработке поезда были применены технологии сверхширокополосной связи UWB, мобильной сети передачи данных и спутниковой навигационной системы "Бэйдоу", что обеспечивает точное опознавание и позиционирование грузов, а также связь между поездами и станциями. Новая модель поезда будет использоваться для скоростных грузоперевозок на расстояния от 600 до 1500 км.
