Fast and reliable: Rail-Shuttle for BASF

DB Cargo has been transporting chemical products for the Ludwigshafen-based chemicals group BASF throughout Germany and Europe for many years. Two years ago, an innovative shuttle concept was introduced and successfully established to connect two plant sites. BASF has extended this contract for a further two years.

Strong logistics for our future

Germany has set itself the goal of becoming climate neutral by 2045. Green hydrogen offers a source of hope when it comes to avoiding carbon emissions. However, the infrastructure required to transport the volumes that are estimated to be needed by 2030 to industrial sites does not yet exist. This is where DB Cargo comes in.

Green logistics: Block train concept to achieve climate protection target

The principle is clear: the more goods that are transported by rail, the better for the climate. Many companies are therefore working on making their transport chain more sustainable. Often, like the chemical company CABB, they are teaming up with a strong partner such as DB Cargo to help them do so.
