Order book
| ORDER BOOK AS OF DEC 31 / € billion | 2021 | 2020 | Change | ||
absolute | % | ||||
DB Arriva | 13.6 | 14.4 | –0.8 | –5.6 | |
secured | 9.9 | 10.2 | –0.3 | –2.9 | |
unsecured | 3.7 | 4.2 | –0.5 | –11.9 | |
Revenues that are directly connected with transport contracts or concessions are either independent of (secured revenues, primarily concession fees) or dependent on (unsecured revenues, primarily revenues from fares) the number of passengers.
In 2021, the order book declined in total. The additions from transport contracts won of about€ 2.4 billion are offset by disposals – mainly as a result of services rendered – of about€ 3.4 billion. In addition, changes in premises of +€ 0.2 billion had a positive effect.
This was primarily due to the development in Mainland Europe (–7%). There has been tendency in many markets to defer tender processes and extend existing contracts. DB Arriva expects the tender volume to increase again in the second half of 2022 and in 2023.
