Services & competition
Client
Like other local rail passenger transport companies , DB Regio Mitte operates on behalf of the regional rail transport authority .
- Local transport company Baden-Württemberg (umbrella brand: bwegt ) (Baden-Württemberg)
- Zweckverband SPNV Nord and the Zweckverband SPNV Süd (Rhineland-Palatinate)

Tenders
With the timetable change in December 2019, DB Regio will lose its network 2 services in Saarland ("Elektronetz Saar") to vlexx GmbH. However, DB Regio Mitte and its workshops are to take over the maintenance of the new vlexx Bombardier Talent 3 trains as a full service. The repair work is to be carried out in the Trier plant. Deutsche Bahn announced that it would close its location in Saarbrücken due to the lost tender and relocate the employees at this location to Frankfurt and Mannheim.
However, when awarding the network for the RheinNeckar S-Bahn (Lot 2 of the NVBW ), DB Regio Mitte got involved and will be operating the lines from December 2021 with an increased range and new vehicles of the Siemens Mireo type in the bwegt country design.
In Hesse, DB Regio can still hold its own on many routes and operate them. Since 2002, however, the DB has also lost some routes in Hesse to the Hessische Landesbahn (HLB). The market share fell from almost 100% to around 76% (as of 2012). This decline in market share was one of the reasons for the merger of DB Regio Hessen and DB Regio Südwest to form the Central area . At the end of 2016, DB Regio was able to win the EU-wide tender for the Northwest Hesse network.
