Fleet development
In 2023, we continued to pursue comprehensive measures to improve our vehicle fleet.
- These include the redesign of the interior, the installation of passenger information and video recording systems, the integration of WiFi, and new paintwork. In total, 224 vehicles were rebuilt and modernized.
- We are further focusing on the procurement of new vehicles for awarded transport contracts. In total, 85 new vehicles were delivered in 2023. Of those, 30 were deployed through a leasing model. The majority of the new vehicles delivered (66) were allocated to the Berlin and Stuttgart S-Bahn (metro) networks and the regional transport network of Franconia-South Thuringia.
In 2023, vehicle availability was improved again due to further additions. However, there were also delays and restrictions relating to the delivery of new trains. In addition, 142 new multiple units were ordered.
