Providing actionable vehicle capacity to Europe’s passenger rail operators

In a liberalizing and constantly growing passenger rail sector, operators struggle with access to vehicle capacity due to high investment cost and multi-year lead times.

At LMM we are able to identify, acquire, modernize and lease second hand vehicles, enabling operators accessing new markets within months rather than years. We’re helping operators achieve new 'lows' in seatkilometer cost which then in turn helps them achieve new 'highs' in passenger demand, thus facilitating further growth of the sector as a whole.

Unique DNA

LMM aggregates three key strenghts: ability to competitively finance rolling stock, ability to modernize vehicles for increased efficiency for operators & attractiveness for passengers, and ability to ensure the vehicles' superior availability standards for operators' performance maximisation.

These strengths are further augmented by LMM team members' previously working in senior management positions at European passenger rail operators, thus knowing what is really important for them.

We know where to look, we know who to talk to.
