4 DB Fernverkehr DB Fernverkehr is the subsidiary of the DB ML holding responsible for operating long distance passenger services, in 2009 running around 1,300 trains daily. The daytime passenger operation consists of Inter City Express (ICE) services operated by high speed train sets and Intercity (IC) services operated by locomotive-hauled trainsets. The network is designed so that trains interconnect at important hubs. The market for long-distance passenger trains in Germany has been open since the 1990s but few competing services have been launched. Only Veolia Verkehr operates such services but these are very limited in scope. In 2009, Locamore Rail (see below) announced that it would launch competing services in 2010, but the launch date has slipped to SNCF subsidiary Keolis requested paths for long-distance services in 2009 but has since decided not to launch them. Following the withdrawal by DB of most InterRegio services which served smaller towns, some States have financed the launch of similar replacement services and put these out to tender. Bayern funds two services branded ALEX, operated by Arriva. Of particular note are its services to Regensburg, several of which run through to Praha in the Czech Republic. In 2009 DB Fernverkehr had a turnover of EUR3.565 billion and 15,043 staff. DB Fernverkehr has two principal subsidiaries: CityNightLine, which operates overnight trains within Germany and into neighbouring countries. It has a fleet of around 260 coaches. DB Autozug ( which operates trains carrying passengers and their cars within Germany and to neighbouring countries. DB Autozug uses about 20 electric and 16 diesel locomotives.db Fernverkehr also works jointly with neighbouring networks to provide international day services, operating under its own brand into most countries, or jointly with neighbouring railways as part of the EuroCity network. However, some services are operated as special joint ventures: Alleo is a joint subsidiary of DB and SNCF of France which manages high-speed services between Germany and Paris Est. Unlike Thalys, Alleo is not used as the brand name and the two companies provide differing products on the two routes German ICE3 sets on Frankfurt- Paris and French TGVs on München-Stuttgart-Paris. Thalys ( operates high-speed services from Köln to Brussels and Paris, as well as Amsterdam-Brussels-Paris, using trains derived from the French TGV. DB has only a 10 per cent share in Thalys, the remainder being owned by SNCF and Belgian national operator SNCB.

5 DB operates services to Italy jointly with Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and Italian regional operator North Milan Railway (FNM), having stopped working with Trenitalia on the München-Innsbruck-Verona route. Frankfurt via Köln to Brussels and Amsterdam services are operated by multi-voltage ICE3 high-speed trainsets, the fleet being jointly owned by DB and Netherlands Railways subsidiary NS Hispeed. Rolling stock DB Fernverkehr operates daytime services with: Around 150 sets of InterCity coaches (in variable length formations) powered by Class km/h electric locomotives 59 ICE1 high speed trains with 11 or 12 coaches 44 ICE2 high speed trains with seven coaches 50 ICE3 high speed trains with eight coaches 17 ICE3M high speed trains with eight coaches a multi-voltage version for services from Frankfurt to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam 71 ICE-T tilting high speed trains with five or seven coaches 19 ICE-TD four-car diesel high speed trains DB Fernverkehr has a total of 242 electric and 53 diesel locomotives plus 1,800 hauled day coaches. DB also owns two Thalys sets although they are managed in a pool and based in Brussels. DB has 15 Class 407 four-voltage high speed trains on order from Siemens for delivery in Similar to ICE3M, they will strengthen the latter fleet and allow the introduction of new services from Frankfurt to the south of France in DB is currently negotiating a contract for up to 300 ICx EMUs which will eventually replace all hauled IC sets plus ICE1 and ICE2 trains. At the beginning of 2010 DB announced that Siemens was its preferred bidder. In December 2009 DB issued a tender for 200 new 140/160 km/h diesel locomotives for both freight and passenger use. These will replace older Class 218 and 225 locomotives
