Alleo
Alleo was a railway company between 2007 and 2018 that managed high-speed rail passenger services between France and Germany. The company was a joint subsidiary of SNCF and Deutsche Bahn (DB) with headquarters in Saarbrücken and later Strasbourg.
Rhealys is a consortium of Deutsche Bahn (DB), French (SNCF), Luxembourg (CFL) and Swiss (SBB) railways preparing high-speed railways between Paris, Luxembourg, Switzerland and south west of Germany. The registered office is at Luxembourg. Although Rhealys prepared the connections, the international train connections between France and Germany were operated since mid-2007 by the newly founded German-French company Alleo.[citation needed]
On 23 May 2005, the then CEOs of DB and SNCF, Hartmut Mehdorn and Louis Gallois, signed a letter of intent to offer common high speed services between southern Germany and Paris from 2007 onwards.
The joint venture agreement was signed by Mehdorn and Anne-Marie Idrac, the former CEO of SNCF, on 25 May 2007 in Paris. Tasks are taken over by the project company Rhealys. Prior to 2016, the enterprise was based at Saarbrücken. In total, only seven employees are employed. The joint venture was initially contractually secured until 2012. However, unlike similar business models such as Lyria between SNCF and SBB, Alleo is not externally communicated and has not been introduced as a trademark.[citation needed]
Since the summer of 2008, ICE units have repeatedly failed on the north-east, so that substitute TGVs were used, the connection was frequently broken in Saarbrücken or trains failed completely. In addition to the disturbances and failures, rail traffic on this axis is considered to be less competitive than other modes of transport because of travel time.[citation needed]
In March 2008, Hoffmann announced the positive development of the first financial year, in the future, new stops (such as the station Gare de Champagne-Ardenne TGV) and destinations (such as the Marne la Vallée-Chessy station, which connects the Disneyland Resort Paris to the French high-speed network) to want. However, with the timetable change in December 2009, the stops of trains to and from Frankfurt at the Lorraine TGV station were cancelled.
Since 23 March 2012, the cooperation of the two railways on the new route from Frankfurt am Main via Strasbourg and Lyon to Marseille on the opened in December 2011 LGV Rhin-Rhône continued. In 2013, a market share of 58% was achieved on the Stuttgart-Paris route. On the Frankfurt-Paris route, the market share of rail is 26% compared to the aircraft. Between 2008 and 2014, the number of passengers using the service had reportedly increased by 44 percent.
On 23 September 2014, DB CEO Rüdiger Grube and SNCF CEO Guillaume Pepy both signed an agreement to expend their cooperation in German-French high-speed traffic until 2020.
