A highlight of the day was Dr. Sigrid Nikutta's ascent to the chair of the Rail Freight Forward initiative, succeeding Dr. Clemens Först. Dr. Nikutta, the DB Board Member for Freight Transport and head of DB Cargo AG, asserted that a 30% share in the continental transport mix for freight trains could be achieved through digitalization and automation. Her sentiment echoed the broader theme of the fair, emphasizing the necessity of evolving traditional systems for the future. The industry, she suggested, stood at the precipice of a transformation, poised to leverage the strength of Europe's extensive rail network for the benefit of climate targets.
In another significant development, DB Schenker launched its new Circular Economy Logistics product line, emphasizing the growing importance of sustainability in the logistics sector. This move underlines the company's ambition to excel in modular reverse management operations and provide a comprehensive solution for customers. As the second day of the transport logistic trade fair concludes, it's clear that the focus on digital transformation and sustainable practices will continue to guide the conversation in the days to come.
