The increase in gross capital expenditures was driven by the Integrated Rail System and resulted mainly from higher capital expenditure in the infrastructure and vehicle fleet. The decline in capital expenditure activities at DB Arriva (mainly completed vehicle projects for new transport contracts and the cessation of the ARN franchise) partially countered this impact.

Investment grants, which are almost exclusively allocated to the Integrated Rail System, also increased sig­nificantly. They accounted for about 59% of the gross­ capital ex­penditures.

Net capital expenditures were also significantly higher. The effects on the Integrated Rail System included the increase in capital expenditures in the existing network at DB Netze Track and in vehicles, particularly at DB Long-Distance.
