DB Cargo UK is the UK’s leading rail freight operator. We offer our customers safe, sustainable and innovative rail logistics solutions linking their supply chains to domestic and European markets through our network, service and people excellence. Our trains deliver everything from construction materials to build houses to finished vehicles; we transport bulk materials and containerised goods to support manufacturing and retail supply chains across the UK. We also deliver services to maintain the rail infrastructure network throughout the country and provide traction and train crew services for scheduled passenger operators. Rail Freight is an environmentally friendly logistics solution, producing approximately 76% less CO2 than HGVs for the equivalent journey. But, at DB Cargo UK, we’re committed to making rail freight even greener. Our eco-friendly solutions utilise Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil to power our locomotives which reduces locomotive CO2 emissions by up to 90%. DB Cargo UK recognises the need to shift traffic from road to rail, protecting the climate, growing the economy, and supporting our customers by delivering solutions to their needs. We are the first choice for rail logistics.
