Bayern-Shuttle wins German logistics prize 2021
DB Cargo is the first railway company ever to win the highest industry award with its "Bayern-Shuttle" transport solution for the steel industry. In a completely new freight cycle, steel is delivered by rail from voestalpine in Linz, Austria, to Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate.
In the opposite direction, freight trains transport scrap from the car plants to the steel mill in Linz - and all this is completely emission-free.
"The Bavaria Shuttle clearly demonstrates the environmental benefits of rail. The great thing is that it can also be transferred to other sectors. Today, we can already offer every customer a completely CO2-free supply chain for all goods," says Sigrid Nikutta, DB board member for freight transport and CEO of DB Cargo. (cj)
