[HIGHLIGHTS] Bahn may have to save money on ICE orders

Bahn may have to save money on ICE orders. By 2030, the average age of the ICE fleet is expected to fall from the current 18 to 12 years.

By the end of the decade, more than 450 ICE trains are expected to be on the road. The railway was originally promised up to 45 billion euros to make the infrastructure fit in the coming years. A good third of them are not yet secured. In construction projects, renovation takes precedence over new construction, according to DB InfraGo.
