18 electric multiple units for network Ostsee-Alster: financing by BayernLB and KfW IPEX-Bank and leasing solution from DAL

BayernLB and KfW IPEX-Bank are jointly financing the purchase of 18 modern electric double-deck trains of the Coradia Max type from Alstom for the Ostsee-Alster network (OSTA). In the consortium led by BayernLB, each bank provides half of the financing volume. Deutsche Anlagen-Leasing GmbH & Co KG (DAL) acts as lessor for the trains operated by DB Regio as part of a leasing structure.

Vera Syhre, Sector Head Rail & Bus at BayernLB: "We are grateful for the renewed confidence of DB Regio AG and the DAL Group in us as financing partners and are pleased to be able to further advance the mobility transition with this financing."

Andreas Ufer, member of the Management Board of KfW IPEX-Bank, agrees: "Passengers in northern Germany will benefit from the new trains in their everyday lives, making it easier to switch from car to train."

From December 2027, the new trains will be used in local public transport services between Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein.
