LNVG's chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Menn said: "The high availability and efficiency of our rail passenger locomotives and double-deck cars is an important prerequisite for passenger satisfaction.
"We will reach an unparalleled level of availability and this will have a positive impact on ridership."
LNVG organises regional rail traffic in Germany between Harz Germany and the North Sea. It has outsourced its fleet maintenance to Bombardier since delivery of the first trains in 2003.
