Your connection to Scandinavia

Whether ammonia from the Netherlands, steel from Sweden or waste materials from Italy: based in Denmark and Sweden, we operate a broad single wagonload network as well as efficient intermodal and block trains, connecting Scandinavia with the whole of Europe. The multifunctional multimodal terminals in Taulov (Fredericia) and Høje Taastrup (Copenhagen) ensure efficient handling of containers, swap bodies and trailers. Additional services and flexibility make our terminals real all-round hubs, including for recycled materials, chemicals and other hazardous materials. In this way, DB Cargo simultaneously delivers goods to customers, fills supermarkets and keeps factories and ports running - all at the same time.

We are the only provider on the corridor to move up to 2,300 tons with one locomotive, connecting Germany, Denmark and Sweden with a total of 30 multi-system electric locomotives - without any locomotive changeover. Diesel and switching locomotives certified for HVO operation round off the flexible portfolio. With a local multilingual team, close political contacts and partnerships in the rail employee and logistics industry, optimal customer solutions are created. With its own maintenance depot in Fredericia and a mobile team that is always ready for action, DB Cargo guarantees constant availability and customer satisfaction on the northern route.
