The DB Group is a leading provider in the field of mobility and logistics. Essentially, the DB Group consists of DB’s rail operations and the two major international shareholdings DB Schenker and DB Arriva. DB’s rail operations comprise passenger transport activities in Germany, rail freight activities, the operational service units and the rail infrastructure companies. The DB Group, with its headquarters in Berlin, employs around 340,000 people. The focus of its business activities is on rail transport in Germany. An elementary concern is the shift of traffic to climate-friendly rail. To this end, Deutsche Bahn relies on the integrated operation of transport and rail infrastructure, the economically and ecologically intelligent interlinking of all modes of transport, and cooperation in German and European networks. In Germany, the DB Group operates Europe’s longest rail network of around 33,000 km.
