The role of single wagonload transport in freight resilience and sustainability.

Single wagonload transport is of central importance to the German industry. It provides a tightly meshed, green transport network that ensures the resilient and sustainable transport of goods by rail. In addition, the German government’s climate protection targets include a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and climate neutrality by 2045. Against the backdrop of existing capacity bottlenecks on rail and road and the continuing growth in the transport market, targeted support measures are needed, especially for environmentally friendly single wagonload transport. In a new study commissioned by DB Cargo AG, we describe how this can be achieved and which financing instruments should be considered.

We invite you to join us for the presentation of the study and discussion of the recommendations for action during a lunch seminar at Il Punto (Neustädtische Kirchstraße 6, 10117 Berlin) on July 5, 2023. Digital participation is also possible. Please note, the event will be held in German.
