Implementation of Restructuring measures

The project to improve DB Regional’s profitability aims to secure its financial and economic viability by responding to changing market conditions. The aim is to continue to position DB Regional for the future and to offer economically stable and sustainable mobility solutions. This includes adapting to the new market conditions by further developing our contract portfolio strategy, renegotiating the existing portfolio and strengthening personnel and vehicle robustness.

The resilience of our system was further increased, enabling us to achieve a further reduction in TOC-related train cancellations of over 40 % compared to the previous year. As part of renegotiations and optimizations of existing contracts, we are working on the implementation of contract adjustments to ensure a balanced distribution of risk. We are also in continuous contact with the contracting organizations in order to ensure competitive capital structures and further develop vehicle financing models. Thanks to the measures initiated, DB Regional Rail was able to improve its economic result compared to the previous year.

At DB Regional Road, we are focusing on continuing the restructuring process and also achieved an improvement in economic performance in 2025.
