Green logistics

DB Cargo Full Load Solutions' mission is to provide holistic logistics solutions that are both economically efficient and environmentally friendly. Our approach includes logistics strategies, systems, structures and processes that focus on greener merchandise management and resource conservation.

Enabling more sustainable logistics  

Combining the ecological footprint of rail freight transport with the flexibility of truck transport is one of our core strategies. Rail is considered the most environmentally friendly transport method in logistics due to its lower CO₂e emissions and other pollutants. Switching to rail can save up to 80% CO₂e compared to trucks*. We do offer transport by truck where we do not have access to the rail network.

*By combining road and rail transport, CO₂e emissions are reduced on the portions of the route traveled by rail compared to road-only transports for the entire route. Source: Federal Environment Agency
