Renfe-Operadora has been structured into five state-owned trading companies since 1 January 2014, as contemplated in RD-Law 22/2012 of 20 July. This new business model aims to prepare the company to compete in a liberalised market, through these five state-owned companies in which Renfe-Operadora is configured: Renfe Viajeros, S.M.E., S.A., Renfe Mercancías, S.M.E., S.A., Renfe Ingeniería y Mantenimiento, S.M.E., S.A., Renfe Alquiler de Material Ferroviario, S.M.E., S.A. and Renfe Proyectos Internacionales, S.M.E., S.A.
The purpose of the reorganisation is that Renfe-Operadora has the appropriate framework to address and energise the process of liberalisation and opening up the railway sector to competition, and to provide the companies with their own legal personality, so that the balance sheets and profit and loss accounts are the basis for business and public service decisions.
This model which is organised under the Public Corporate Entity Renfe-Operadora (Renfe-Operator) as the owner of 100% of the shares of the five new companies and which, as the parent company, is responsible for defining the group's business policy and strategy, and for seeking efficient management focused on corporate and service functions.
