Revenue model

1. Tf-Personal (Train Driver Staffing): Arverio provides qualified Triebfahrzeugführer (train drivers) to other EVU through temporary worker deployment (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung/ANÜ). Train drivers are made available often within 24-48 hours for critical situations. Pricing is based on framework contracts with transparent, fair terms negotiated during initial consultation. The service is scalable for peaks, illness waves, and construction phases.
2. Recruiting-as-a-Service: Full outsourcing of the recruitment process for train drivers. Includes digital reach, industry-specific sourcing, structured pre-selection, reducing workload for the client's team, with seamless transition into training or deployment.
3. Tf-Ausbildung (Train Driver Training): EBA-certified training for Triebfahrzeugführer from the company's own academy. Training covers common SPNV and electric train vehicle types. Quereinstieg (career changer) training typically takes 9-12 months including theoretical education, simulator training, and practical phases.

Core offering

Arverio fundamentally operates regional passenger rail services in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria under contracted authority, and provides modular professional services to other German railway transport companies (Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen/EVU): short-term placement of qualified train drivers (Triebfahrzeugführer), outsourced recruiting-as-a-service for train drivers, and EBA-certified train driver training at its own Akademie (in operation since 2021, with modern driving simulators and digital learning formats). The offering is sold as three modular pillars — Tf-Personal, Recruiting-as-a-Service, and Ausbildung — combinable into an integrated package covering short-term deployment, medium-term recruitment, and long-term qualification.

Product overview

Arverio is a regional passenger rail operator in Germany, formerly operating under the Go-Ahead brand, and since 2024 a subsidiary of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). The company operates two main passenger rail sub-brands (Arverio Baden-Württemberg and Arverio Bayern) providing regional train services in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Separately, Arverio operates professional services for railway transport companies (EVU) including Arverio Drive (qualified train driver staffing with short-term availability), Recruiting-as-a-Service (outsourced driver recruitment), and the EBA-certified Arverio Akademie (train driver training with simulators). The company covers approximately 20 million train-km annually in its own operations and operates academies in Stuttgart and Augsburg.
