Problems with DB Cargo's Restructuring: EVG Still Sees Difficulties
Published
The freight railway DB Cargo, which belongs to Deutsche Bahn, is again posting losses this year. According to the union EVG (Eisenbahn- und Verkehrsgewerkschaft), major problems persist in the company's restructuring. The union therefore views the situation with concern.
The background: The European Commission has required that DB Cargo return to profitability by the end of 2026. This requirement is part of the conditions for the company's restructuring. If DB Cargo fails to meet its targets, this could have consequences for the company and its employees.
The freight railway is important for transporting goods by rail. Many companies in Germany use rail transport to move raw materials and products. For this reason, DB Cargo's economic situation is also significant for the logistics industry.
So far, only limited information about the exact figures is available. The EVG criticises that the restructuring is not progressing as planned. It remains to be seen what measures Deutsche Bahn will take in the coming months to still achieve its goal of profitability.
