An engineering conglomerate. Traffic control systems of the company are installed by its Israeli representative, Orad Group, on apartheid roads (roads on which only Israelis are allowed to travel) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including road no. 5 and 443.

Through its fully owned Israeli subsidiary - Siemens Israel, the company sold 118 passenger coaches to Israel Railways corporation. Apparently, these passenger coaches will be used at the A1 fast train line from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which is currently under construction. 

The A1 route crosses the Green Line international border in two areas into the occupied West Bank. In some parts the route passes through privately owned Palestinian lands. Any use of occupied Palestinian land and resources for an exclusively Israeli transportation project is illegal by international law.
