Our Mission (English)

We are DIE GÜTERBAHNEN. We count almost 100 private, regional and international companies associated with rail freight transport as our members. Every day we work innovatively and passionately to convince our customers to transport goods on climate friendly railways. Die GÜTERBAHNEN were initiated by the Netzwerk Europäischer Eisenbahnen e.V. (NEE). 

Die GÜTERBAHNEN have the main goal to increase the transport of goods via railroads.  

We commit ourselves to the political goal to increase the market share of rail freight transport in 2030. We are convinced that climate friendly freight-trains are the backbone of todays and future freight transport. Therefore, we are committed to fair intramodal competition on railroads just as fair intermodal competition between railroads and roads. Adequate political decision-making combined with our members’ flexible service we can achieve the 25% goal – and go even further. 

Unlike in passenger transport, Deutsche Bahn is not a quasi-monopolist in freight transport. Almost 60 percent of rail freight transport in Germany is provided by companies outside the DB Group, most of which are organized with Die GÜTERBAHNEN. Therefore, fair intramodal competition is important if rail freight transport is to remain efficient and increase its volume. As the market leader Die GÜTERBAHNEN speak for the entire industry with a memorable name. 

As Die GÜTERBAHNEN we are a strong and effective representation of our members‘ interests vis-a-vis politics, media, administration and Deutsche Bahn. We stand for future-proof, economic and ecological transport. We know goods by rail is better. 

The Network of European Railways has set itself the goal in its statutes

  • Establish fair competition on railways: We support demands for non-discriminatory, regulations or initiate them ourselves in the fields of infrastructure, energy supply, rolling stock, international traffic and regulations
  • Communicate the importance of railroads to the public and to represent our members‘ interests vis-a-vis politicians, authorities, industry and suppliers 
  • Foster the exchange of information and to enhance cooperation between our members 

Among other things, our members cooperate ...

  • … with each other in managing emergencies since 2014 and support each other in the event of accidents by training specialists who can assist the emergency managers of DB Netz AG on site (more detailed information -in German- can be found here) 
  • … by means of an interactive map, which shows -among other things- cooperating companies for workshop or refuelling services across Europe 
  • … if defective or damaged freight cars need to be removed from a train, they assist with transport to the workshop, specialist personal, especially car inspectors 
  • …to help their drivers acquire and maintain the required knowledge of routes hey travel on
