🇩🇪🪖🚂A medical train will be created for the Bundeswehr.

Siemens Mobility and Lufthansa Technik Defense have signed a memorandum of understanding for the joint development of a medical train (Patiententransportzug) with a capacity of over 150 wounded soldiers and up to 90 medical and support personnel.

The train will be created very quickly using existing platforms:
◼️ Siemens will develop a modification of the Vectouro passenger cars, and will also provide the Vectron X or Vectron X Dual Mode locomotive (which can operate both on the electrical grid and on diesel). The Dual Mode allows operation on non-electrified sections or in the event of power outages, which is important in wartime.
◼️ Lufthansa Technik Defense will provide medical equipment from the AeroMEDICAL Solutions range. The equipment is modular and can be reconfigured to provide different levels of care (according to NATO categories D1–D4, from basic to intensive). In addition, standardized fixtures allow patients to be transferred together with their beds/modules between aircraft, vehicles, and trains, minimizing disturbance to the wounded.

This equipment is already used by the Bundeswehr on Airbus A400M Atlas and Airbus A321LR aircraft.

✨The production of medical trains is aimed at expanding the capacity to transport a large number of wounded soldiers. This is fully consistent with Germany's plans to become the "main rear medical center" of EuroNato, to receive over 100,000 wounded 🇵🇱Polish soldiers and 🇺🇦Ukrainian soldiers per day, who will be transported from the "eastern front" 🇷🇺🇧🇾. ❗️In this context, it is noteworthy that the EU is actively sponsoring the construction of the European railway specifically in the western regions of Ukraine.

✨⭐️ The Germans don't believe that there will be a conventional war directly with them this time.
