The Abellio Rail Baden-Wuerttemberg GmbH is a for Abellio Germany belonging Corporation railway companies in passenger rail transport with headquarters in Stuttgart . The European Railway Agency uses ABRBW as a code on the vehicles, abbreviated as ABRB in its own press releases.

history

The company that emerged under the name Abellio Rail Südwest GmbH at the end of August 2014, which emerged from the original company NedBahnen Deutschland GmbH , won the tender for the local transport services of Lot 1 "Neckartal" of the Stuttgart Netze at the end of 2015 , which they will take over from June 2019 and in further takeover stages to operate from December 2019 and June 2020. On September 26, 2016, the company relocated to Stuttgart and was renamed Abellio Rail Baden-Württemberg GmbH .

The managing director was initially Andreas Moschinski , former chairman of the regional management for Baden-Württemberg , DB Regio AG ; He was followed in February 2018 by Roman Müller, who was previously managing director at ABRM . Rolf Schafferath has been with ABRB since 2018; he took over the chairmanship of the managing directors of ABRB on September 2, 2019.

At the end of February 2019, the company received a safety certificate for passenger transport from the Federal Railway Authority .

vehicles

In mid-2016, the company ordered 24 three-car and 19 five-car Talent 2 multiple units , each with 163 and 273 seats, from Bombardier Transportation for 215 million euros . According to the BW model , it will resell them to the State Railway Authority of Baden-Württemberg and lease them back from them . They are designed in the bwegt state design of the Baden-Württemberg local transport company and equipped with sockets and cell phone amplifiers . They are to offer Internet access for use by passengers via WLAN.

In December 2016, the order was increased by two three-car and one five-car multiple unit. In April 2017, another five Talent 2 multiple units were ordered for the Neckar Valley. The three additional multiple units are to be delivered in 2020. At the beginning of April 2018 there was a further increase by 4 vehicles to a total of 26 three-car and 26 five-car trains. According to a media report, Talent 3 multiple units will also be delivered.

In February 2019 it was announced that the delivery of the trains ordered by the manufacturer Bombardier will be delayed. On April 30, 2019, Bombardier announced that it would be able to provide a maximum of 2 of the 16 planned vehicles on time for commissioning. Abellio therefore rented 9 vehicles from DB Regio at short notice. Further vehicles were rented from Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft from Karlsruhe and from agilis from Regensburg. By the beginning of August 2019, 15 five-part Talent 3 should be available, by the start of the second operating stage in December 2019, Bombardier wanted to hand over the remaining five-part models and 18 of the 25 three-part models required to Abellio. As Bombardier again failed to keep its promises, the majority of the replacement vehicles could not be replaced by 10 Talent 2 until September 2019. Replacement vehicles will also be required for the second stage in December. While Uwe Lahl, Head of the Ministry of Transport, “no longer believes” the assurances made by Bombardier, he praised Deutsche Bahn, which was defeated in the tenders and lends staff and vehicles.
