    Rail as the key to decarbonization

    DB Cargo launches the "Freight belongs on rail" initiative

    The most sustainable supply chains possible for the economy - simplifying climate-friendly logistics- intelligent combination of rail and road.

    Every year, DB Cargo rail transports reduce CO2e emissions in the transport sector by up to 7 million tonnes.

    This takes pressure off roads, protects the environment and cuts CO2e emissions.

    Everyone knows it: freight belongs on rail.

    Rail really points the way ahead.

    Lorries can also transport by rail.

    DB Cargo takes 20 million lorries off our congested roads every year

    One freight train replaces up to 52 lorries

    This creates space on motorways and frees roads from congestion.

    Up to 50% reduction in external costs

    Trains cause fewer large-scale problems than lorries: they experience fewer accidents, cause less damage to the environment and have a reduced impact on landscapes.

    CO2e emissions are 85% lower

    Nothing beats trains when it comes to climate-friendly transport. They emit up to 85% less CO2e than lorries and 40% less CO2e than inland waterway vessels.

    What we want to achieve by 2030:

    Halve CO2e emissions in the transport sector.

    The climate goal is also our goal. We can achieve it by combining rail and road transport cleverly between now and 2030.

     

    We need your support for this.
