    DB Cargo's network #7: We connect Scandinavia

    The northern route is a strong network between southern Europe and Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

    26.08.2024

    The longest rail freight route in Europe runs from Scandinavia to southern Europe. With a strong network in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, DB Cargo keeps factories running and ports busy.

    A strong team for all goods!

    DB Cargo covers the entire transport chain in Scandinavia. Based in Denmark and Sweden, we operate a broad single wagonload network, efficient intermodal and block trains, multimodal terminals and our own maintenance depot. With technical expertise, good contacts and in all Scandinavian languages, we ensure that rail freight transport runs smoothly.

    Traction for satisfied customers

    Our 30 multi-system electric locomotives connect Sweden, Denmark and Germany without locomotive changeovers at the borders. DB Cargo is the only freight railroad that can haul 2,300 tons in one train through Denmark. HVO-certified diesel and switching locomotives complement our versatile fleet and enable shunting on private customers' sidings. 

    Local presence in Denmark and Sweden

    With close political contacts and strong partnerships in the rail and logistics industry, DB Cargo creates optimal customer solutions and ensures a shift to other modes of transport. With our Swedish branch, we ensure smooth processes at competitive costs. Together with our partners, we are proven all-rounders for intermodal, block train and spot concepts.

    In-house terminal expertise

    The two intermodal terminals in Taulov (Fredericia) and Høje Taastrup (Copenhagen) on the Scandinavian corridor are genuine all-round hubs. With a total depot capacity of 2,400 TEU, they offer options for handling and storing containers, swap bodies and trailers. Recycling material, chemicals and other hazardous materials can also be handled effortlessly. Additional services and flexibility make the terminals genuine all-round hubs.

    Availability on the rail for satisfied customers

    Our own maintenance depot in Fredericia, directly on the ScanMed corridor, offers comprehensive maintenance services for locomotives and wagons. A mobile team that is always ready for action and authorized repair shops throughout Scandinavia ensure that our freight trains are always on the road for our customers.
