Deutsche Bahn’s rail freight business becomes DB Cargo and will use the DB logo going forward. The name of the corresponding legal entity changed from DB Schenker Rail to DB Cargo starting March 1st. All the companies in Germany and abroad that currently have „DB Schenker Rail” in their name will be integrated into the new naming structure by the end of 2016.
In addition to the logo change, there has also been a structural one: rail and logistics activities have been separated in organizational terms. Global logistics will use “DB Schenker” going forward, while rail freight transport will use „DB Cargo.” „Although we are separating our logistics and rail businesses from each other by name, we will of course continue to offer integrated rail transport and logistics services throughout Europe where it makes sense for the market and our customers,” says Andreas Busemann, who heads the Sales department at DB Cargo.
The DB Cargo website is available now at www.dbcargo.com.
