Siemens AG is a publicly traded German multinational technology conglomerate engaged in automation and digitalization in the manufacturing industries, intelligent infrastructure for buildings and distributed energy systems, smart mobility solutions for rail transport, and medical technology and digital healthcare services.
Siemens supplies train cars used on the A1 Tel Aviv-Jerusalem train, which passes through the occupied West Bank. In addition, Siemens software is in use by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and the company's detection and extinguishing systems are installed at Israel Prison Service facilities. Previously, Siemens traffic control systems were documented on settlement roads in the occupied West Bank.
The Tel Aviv Jerusalem Fast Train (A1)
Siemens supplies train cars to the electric rail network of the Israeli state-owned Israel Railways, including for the A1 Tel Aviv-Jerusalem train line, which passes through the occupied West Bank.
In December 2021, Siemens DDEMU model cars from the Desiro series came into use on the A1 train route.
The A1 train route crosses the Green Line into the occupied West Bank in two areas, using occupied Palestinian land, some of it privately owned, for an Israeli transportation project aimed exclusively for Israelis. In December 2021, the Siemens train cars came into use in the A1 train route. For more on the A1 train, see Who Profits report: Crossing the Line: The Tel Aviv Jerusalem Fast Train (A1).
In 2017, Siemens won a tender from the Israeli state-owned railway company, Israel Railways, for the supply of 330 electric cars in the amount of approximately NIS 4 billion, as part of the Israel Railways electrification project, which includes the Tel Aviv Jerusalem Fast Train (A1).
The tender included the supply of train cars in the amount of NIS 3.2 billion, the establishment of a maintenance facility for wagons in the amount of NIS 230 million, and maintenance services in the amount of approximately NIS 400 million.
According to the agreement, Siemens is to supply 60 trains, comprising about 330 electric cars containing approximately 33,000 seats, and provide maintenance and repair services for a period of 15 years. The contract includes an option to purchase additional trains within 10 years and to extend maintenance and repair services to a maximum period of 29 years. At the end of 2023, the option for an additional 81 trains was exercised.
Services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense
In November 2025, the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) published a tender for an Engineering Analysis and Design AI system to be used by mechanical engineers engaged in the development and maintenance of tanks, armored vehicles, weapon systems, and electro-optical systems. The tender listed as a prerequisite for the AI system is to be able to integrate with Siemens Solid Edge software.
On December 22, 2024, the IMOD published a tender for the supply of Siemens controllers software version 18.
On March 20, 2024, IMOD published a tender for Siemens controllers manufactured by Siemens.
In addition, the company works with Israeli state-owned weapons manufacturers Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israeli company Elbit Systems, all of which supply weapons to the Israeli military.
Services to Israel Prison Service
An Israeli distributor and representative of Siemens, Orad Group, provides Siemens fire detection and extinguishing systems to Israel Prison Service facilities.
Orad, an authorized installer of Siemens detection, access control, and closed-circuit television systems, provides the Israel Prison Service (IPS) with maintenance, repair, and upgrade services for Siemens fire alarm systems installed at IPS facilities.
Since at least 2012, Orad has provided maintenance services for Siemens systems installed at IPS facilities. In January 2021, Orad was contracted by the IPS as the sole supplier to provide maintenance, repair, and modification services to Siemens fire alarm systems until the end of December 2023, for a total of NIS 540,000.
Services to Settlements
Between 2009 and 2015, Who Profits documented Siemens traffic control systems deployed on settlement roads in the occupied West Bank, including Highway 1, Highway 5 and Highway 443, which are part of the Israeli road system that runs through the occupied West Bank on which Palestinians are prohibited from driving.
In 2015, Siemens traffic light systems were documented on Highway 1 at the entrance to the Mishor Adumim Industrial Zone, and at the entrance to the Atarot Industrial Zone in occupied East Jerusalem. In April 2010, Siemens traffic light systems, bearing the logo of Siemens' Israeli distributor Orad Group, were documented on Highway 443 near the settlement of Givat Ze'ev. In 2009, Siemens traffic light systems were documented on Highway 5 at the entrance to the Barkan Industrial Zone.
Energy Projects in the Naqab
Siemens Energy, a publicly traded company (FRA: ENR) in which Siemens AG holds a 5.5% minority stake, provides essential maintenance services for turbines at the Ramat Hovav power plant in the Naqab. The power plant, owned by Shikun & Binui Group, operates primarily on natural gas sourced from offshore fields in the Mediterranean Sea. In 2020, Siemens Energy signed an agreement with the power station for a period of 20 years.
Israel’s unilateral gas production in the Mediterranean and its control of maritime infrastructure facilitate its control over energy supply, maritime borders, and Palestinian access to resources. Israel systematically denies Palestinians access to their oil and gas reserves, ensuring the de-development of the Palestinian economy and its continued dependence on Israel for energy needs.

Company Response
21 September 2026
Dear Who Profits Research Team,
Thank you very much for your letter from September 6, 2026 – “Request for your response to a publication about your company.”
Please find our comments regarding your planned update of the information regarding Siemens AG on your website below.
As it is our understanding that the information you outline in your letter will be posted in addition to the already existing information on Siemens AG on the following website
https://www.whoprofits.org/companies/company/3958 we kindly ask you to reflect the following points in the update:
Introductory paragraph
“Siemens supplies train cars to the A1 Tel-Aviv-Jerusalem train, which passes through the occupied West Bank”
Your statement implies that the delivered trains operate solely on the A1 railways line. Please reflect in your text, that the supplied trains are operating on the entire electric rail network of Israel Railways which includes the A1 railway line.
The Tel Aviv Jerusalem Fast Train (A1)
The passage does not contain the information included in our email from August 3, 2026 that Siemens was not involved in the construction of the A1 line. Siemens connection to the A1 line is limited to the supply of the mentioned DDEMU model cars which operate on the entire electric rail network of Israel Railways, including A1, as well as the maintenance of these trains.
Services to Israel Prison Service
We kindly ask you to reflect our statement in your outlined update:
- “We are not providing fire safety or buildings products to Israeli prisons.”
Services to Settlements
We would like to stress our answer below and kindly ask to continue to include this within your text:
- “Siemens did not supply, install, or maintain traffic control systems for use on roads in the occupied territories. “
- “Please note that Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) was carved out of Siemens in July 2021.”
Energy Projects in the Naqab
Please refrain from including this paragraph on an alleged project of Siemens Energy in the text as ‘Siemens AG’ and ‘Siemens Energy’ are two separate and independent legal entities. Since September 28, 2020, Siemens Energy is listed as an independent company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Siemens AG is a minority shareholder in Siemens Energy (currently approx. 5.5%). Thus, Siemens AG cannot and does not control business decisions of Siemens Energy.
Question on order for additional 81 trains
In your last letter you also asked when the order for an additional 81 trains was placed. This option for an additional 81 trains was exercised at the end of 2023. The DDEMU trains can be used across the entire electric rail network of Israel Railways.
We thank you again for your transparency by checking for the position of Siemens AG before publishing your updates on your website.
Please feel free to contact us again regarding any potential updates of the information on your website
Let us know if you have further questions on the above.
Best regards,
Nicoletta Heilsberger
03 August 2026
Dear Who Profits Research Team,
Thank you again very much for your inquiry from June 28, 2026 – “Request for your response to a publication about your company.” Please find our answers regarding the requested topics below:
Tel Aviv Jerusalem Fast Train (A1)
- Regarding the Double Deck Electrical Multiple Units (DDEMU) for the Tel Aviv – Jerusalem Fast Train (A1), please note that Siemens Mobility is acting as a supplier for the Israel Railways DDEMU project.
- The business relationship with Israel Railways is based on a framework agreement that was concluded in 2017 and is still ongoing. Upon conclusion of the contract, Siemens Mobility undertook to supply 60 trains and to provide maintenance and repair services for a period of 15 years. The contract contains so-called customer options, which contractually enable Israel Railways to purchase additional trains from Siemens Mobility on a recurring basis within 10 years. In addition, there are options in favor of Israel Railways to extend the maintenance and repair services, whereby an extension is possible up to a maximum period of 29 years.
- Israel Railways has placed a new order for an additional 81 trains. The DDEMU trains can be used across the entire electric rail network of Israel Railways.
- Please note that Siemens was not involved in the construction of the A1 line. An internal and external legal review at the time concluded that the delivery of the trains and their maintenance does not restrict the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.
- Potential new business activities will be subject to another comprehensive human rights due diligence review, particularly about international humanitarian law. We are carefully monitoring current developments in Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Traffic control systems in settlements
- Siemens did not supply, install, or maintain traffic control systems for use on roads in the occupied territories.
- Please note that Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) was carved out of Siemens in July 2021.
Services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense
- The focus of our business activities is clearly on the defence industries of NATO member countries in Europe and the USA as well as its trusted international partners. For other countries outside the EU and NATO, for which no legal prohibitions apply, we follow an enhanced due diligence approach.
- We kindly ask for your understanding that, due to strict security requirements in the defense industry, we are unable to disclose any details of our customers.
- Siemens strictly adheres to all national and international laws and regulations. We’re monitoring the situation in the region very closely and are in continuous exchange with authorities, governments and associations.
- Siemens continues to abstain from producing armaments. As a technology partner we are supporting our customers on their transformation journey from design to simulation to production as well as smart infrastructure modernization.
We are kindly requesting clarification concerning the following:
- In the draft you have send to us you are referring to an alleged statement by Zvi Feuer, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software Israel, regarding a close collaboration with the Israel Ministry of Defense. Also, you are referring to several companies from the Defense as well as Aerospace sector. For none of the presented findings, you have included any sources. We would kindly ask you to specify where you received this information.
Services to Israel Prison Service
- We can confirm that we are not providing fire safety systems to the referenced prison.
- Please note that we are generally applying heightened due diligence and go beyond legal compliance in such contexts prior to entering contractual commitments in full alignment with International Standards.
Overall, please note that Siemens strictly adheres to all applicable national and international laws and regulations. With thorough review processes, we ensure that our activities are in line with our stringent export control procedures and ethical principles. We are strongly committed to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as the global standard for preventing and addressing potential adverse human rights impacts.
We thank you again for your transparency by checking for the position of Siemens AG before publishing your updates on your website.
Please feel free to contact us again regarding any potential updates of the information on your website. Let us know if you have further questions on the above.
Best regards,
Nicoletta
