Following a little more than three years of close cooperation, we have now reached an important milestone in the digitalisation of combined transport. The KV 4.0 data breaks down the barriers between the various participants in the combined transport process. A big step for the 11-member project consortium involving DB Cargo and headed up by Kombiverkehr, and a giant leap for end-to-end transparency in customer supply chains.

When DB Cargo Logistics transports batteries and cell modules with made-to-measure rail services, it takes care of everything from planning to execution. In summer 2020, the company's logistics experts started using trains to move batteries, each weighing hundreds of kilos, from Braunschweig to Zwickau, where they are needed at the ID.3 and ID.4 production bases.

In summer 2020, we began offering our customers door-to-door EVplus service from Hamburg to Cologne. Seven new lanes are launching in 2021.

Even in times of crisis, we keep transporting goods from door to door sustainably, competitively and reliably, whether or not our customers have their own rail siding. DB Cargo transports gypsum fibre boards from Orejo in Spain to Vamdrup in Denmark for James Hardie, the world's leading manufacturer of fibre cement building materials. Our Danish joint partner H. Daugaard distributes these coveted building materials throughout Scandinavia.

Border controls in Saxony and Bavaria have no impact on DB Cargo - Corona rapid tests for locomotive drivers before every shift - DB Board Member Dr. Sigrid Nikutta: "Rail logistics creates robust supply chains"

The Schkopau chemical park now has a new computer-based interlocking. This means that points can be changed with just a click of a mouse and that more trains can serve the site.
