Db International

Intelligent transport solutions are vital to cope with the sharp increase in mobility demand worldwide at acceptable environmental impact and resource consumption. DB AG has therefore focused its international rail transport activities in DB International. Globalisation of the rail transport sector has led to a change in markets and customers. Rail once again plays an important role worldwide, especially in oil producing and mining countries, but also in Asia with its dramatically increasing traffic volumes. Efficient railway systems are thus essential to provide mobility for both passengers and freight. Congested roads and relentlessly rising energy costs have curbed the development of private car and truck traffic, allowing the railway to make up ground. As far as environmental aspects are concerned, railway has always been far out in front.
