Road and Rail efficiently combined.
Off the roads and onto the rails
Every logistician knows that there is no such thing as
the perfect mode of transport. That’s why DB Schenker
combines the specific benefits of each one in its multimode
supply chains – for example, the outstanding
ecological balance of trains with the flexibility of trucks.
They handle as much freight as possible by rail. Because
its own trains almost exclusively run on environmentally
friendly electricity, it can reduce emissions by
up to 80 percent compared to conventional transport
by road. Its trucks then pick up and collect the goods.
They can reach the most remote corners of Europe so
that customers can enjoy the convenience of door-todoor
transport, even if they have no rail access of their
own. This reduces overall carbon emissions by up to
60 percent.
DB SCHENKERrailog takes over conventional wagon
load freight, special rail projects and intermodal
container shipments including value added services.
With our online tool Eco TransIT, customers may calculate
the carbon footprint of individual shipments by
comparing the environmental impact of shipments by
rail, road and inland waterways. This enables customers
to decide in favour of the most environment
friendly shipment. Please check: www.ecotransit.org
for further information.

We can all do something for the environment –
for example using state-of-the-art trucks
DB Schenker constantly upgrades its truck fleet and uses
more and more vehicles that meet the Euro 5 standard. It
also tests new fuel mixtures to reduce the trucks’ consumption.
By collecting transports at various hubs in its
own network, DB Schenker increases vehicle utilization,
because fewer deadhead trips mean less emissions. However,
the human factor is still the most important when
it comes to protecting the environment. DB Schenker
makes sure that all drivers and those of its contractors
are trained in how to drive efficiently, using simple
measures to significantly reduce fuel consumption and
carbon dioxide emissions.

equivalent to ten ECO 2 PHANTS.

DB Schenker puts every flow
of goods on the right track –
DB SCHENKERrailog
To meet the rising demand for rail-based logistics,
DB SCHENKERrailog offers rail-specific logistics
concepts for conventional wagon load freight and special
intermodal container shipments. This service is an integral
part of the European land transport of DB Schenker.
DB Schenker is proud of its more than 30 years of experience
in the world of rail-specific logistics. Not only have
we gained our knowledge and expertise from our two
former subsidiaries Railog and Fertrans – but also the
successful business we have conducted with our German
company Transa over the years as well as the experts we
have available at other European branches of Schenker
AG make us a stand-out logistics company.
In other words: Thanks to DB SCHENKERrailog,
customers throughout Europe and in Asia can include
rail transport in their planning and process control in a
more effective manner. Plus, they can benefit from the
economic and ecological advantages that rail logistics
have to offer.
This establishes rail as a fixed component of DB Schenker’s
European logistics. We offer our customers logistics
solutions using a broad network of carriers – rail included.
In this field DB Schenker can rely on excellent
customer relations and experienced teams.

Special transports (e.g. agricultural
and construction machines)
CLAAS KGaA mbH, a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, nominated
DB Schenker as logistics service provider for transports to CIS countries in
2012. This nomination comprises a volume of 1,000 agricultural machineries
in wagon groups or block trains from West and East European plants to
various CIS Staates by rail. The specific challenge of these transports is the
route of 5,000 kilometres across several national borders, the coordination
of all involved railways and partners, the associated different freight laws
and the transshipment from European normal gauge to Russian broad gauge.
