Velaro RUS-时速250级别宽轨高速列车

当地时间5月12日，西门子宣布：由于乌克兰战争，西门子将退出俄罗斯市场。该公司已启动程序，以逐步结束其工业运营和所有工业业务活动。

战争伊始，西门子暂停了所有新业务以及向俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的国际交付。全面的国际制裁以及当前和潜在的反制措施影响了公司在俄罗斯的业务活动，尤其是铁路板块服务和维护。

西门子表示，对俄罗斯的制裁已经导致公司在过去一个季度的业务损失6亿欧元，并将导致未来更多成本上升。西门子在俄罗斯开展业务已超过170年，自1851年起，西门子就为莫斯科和圣彼得堡之间的电报线路提供设备。

目前西门子在俄罗斯拥有3000名员工，不过俄罗斯业务对西门子年收入的贡献大约仅有1%，目前的大部分业务都与高速列车的维护和服务相关。

Siemens to wind down Russian business

Siemens will exit the Russian market as a result of the Ukraine war. The company has started proceedings to wind down its industrial operations and all industrial business activities. The financial impact of this decision will be reported as part of the regular disclosure on the second quarter results today on May 12, 2022.

After the start of the war, Siemens put all new business in and international deliveries to Russia and Belarus on hold. The comprehensive international sanctions, as well as current and potential countermeasures, impact the company’s business activities in Russia, particularly rail service and maintenance.

Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, said: “We condemn the war in Ukraine and have decided to carry out an orderly process to wind down our industrial business activities in Russia. This was not an easy decision, given our duty of care for our employees and long-standing customer relationships, in a market where we have been active for almost 170 years. We are evaluating the impact on our people and we will continue to support them to the best of our abilities. At the same time, we provide humanitarian assistance to our colleagues and the people of Ukraine and stand with the international community in calling for peace.”

The business will manage the orderly process to wind down its activities in line with regulatory requirements and international sanctions.
