The DB Vehicle Maintenance is a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG . The company works for national and international customers from the entire rail industry, including rail transport companies and manufacturers of rail vehicles and rail vehicle components.
The range of services offered by DB vehicle maintenance includes, among other things, revisions and general inspections, repairs to accidents and needs, conversion and modernization work, and material supply including obsolescence management. In addition to maintenance in the DB vehicle maintenance works, start-ups develop IT solutions, new products and technologies under the umbrella of the company, such as customer terminals for travel centers or the production of spare parts using 3D printing.
history
With the exception of the Dessau plant (founded in 1929), all DB vehicle maintenance plants have been in existence for more than 100 years. The oldest plant - Neumünster - was founded in 1861. Up until 1997, the heavy maintenance locations (C-works) were combined with those of operational maintenance (A- and B-works) in a separate division. After bundling the heavy maintenance works in a separate area (TI) of the technology department of DB AG, DB vehicle maintenance was founded in 2001 as part of the rail reform.
As DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung GmbH, the TI division received its own legal form on January 1, 2004 and was assigned to the Services division. The company initially employed 7,600 people in 6 production areas and 13 factories.
Against the background of the planned privatization of the DB Group, DB vehicle maintenance was assigned to DB Mobility Logistics AG in 2008.
At the beginning of 2011, DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung will take on group-wide responsibility for material disposition and operational purchasing for rail vehicle spare parts.
Since January 1, 2020, the company has been part of the Digitization & Technology department of the DB Group.
