To do this we leverage our international corridors via our network of DB Cargo companies, spanning 18 countries.
“ As mentioned, we support a host of critical industries in the UK and across Europe, delivering critical mass for major infrastructure projects, house building, steel production, fast moving consumer goods, and much more.
“ We also maintain assets across the UK rail infrastructure network, both track and train. Third party maintenance currently accounts for around 15 percent of our total activities, but we are confident that can be doubled in the near future.”
Having recently invested in an all-new operating system, DB Cargo is already reaping the rewards, as Neil affirms:“ An important part of our transformation is a new state-of-the-art, end-to-end operational system, which ensures the optimization of our processes, making the business more flexible and versatile. Adopting this technology will ultimately add value for customers and partners throughout the supply chain.
“ Additionally, building the digital capability up will allow us to better understand the profitability of our operational and growth strategies. It will allow us to be much more cost effective and competitively priced, while enabling much richer conversations with our customers that are informed by real time data from across the business.
“ We’ re also embracing technology in other ways. The company is currently leading the way in the development of the new European Train Control System( ETCS), specifically working on class 66 locomotives. This technology will revolutionize the rail network in the UK and become the biggest fundamental technological revolution since the shift from steam to diesel.”
