Article: DB Cargo Scandinavia – Strong railways for greater security of supply in Denmark
DB Cargo is strengthening Denmark's resilience with innovative logistics concepts and effective emergency prevention
When it comes to security of supply and crisis prevention in Denmark, DB Cargo Scandinavia – a subsidiary of DB Cargo – plays a key role in Dansk Industri's (DI) Transport “Preparedness Initiative”, the company ensures that goods continue to flow reliably even in difficult times. With its strong network in Denmark and Sweden DB Cargo Scandinavia ensures that factories can continue to produce and ports remain at full capacity.
From single wagons to complete block trains, the company covers the entire transport chain. Modern multi-system electric locomotives and HVO-certified diesel locomotives enable large quantities of goods to be moved in a climate-friendly and reliable manner – even under challenging conditions.
Coronavirus pandemic highlighted the central importance of the transport sector in times of crisis
The corona pandemic demonstrated that the transport sector plays a crucial role in maintaining essential supplies in challenging environments. Transportation and logistics are therefore an integral part of Denmark’s crisis preparedness.
As representative of DB Cargo Scandinavia on the board of DI Transport, Oliver Gesche, Chief Financial Officer of DB Cargo Scandinavia, actively contributed to the development of DI Transport's Preparedness Initiative. The focus has been on highlighting the positive role the entire transport sector can play in Denmark’s preparedness today—whether critical infrastructure or supply chains are disrupted, or a climate disaster occurs.
The initiative aims to facilitate constructive dialogue within the political sphere and to strengthen cooperation, thereby making optimal use of existing resources and expertise to improve resilience.
Cooperation for sustainable solutions
In addition to crisis prevention, DB Cargo Scandinavia is focusing on future viability. Together with authorities and industry partners, the company is driving forward the decarbonisation of rail freight transport and the expansion of climate-friendly transport corridors. One example is the port of Hirtshals, where the ‘Greenport Scandinavia’ project is creating a sustainable infrastructure. In future, CO2e will be transported here safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.
The commitment in Scandinavia demonstrates how DB Cargo also secures rail transport in Europe on a supraregional level with strong networks.
