Transport Expertise today released a new study “Deutsche Bahn, Implementing a Successful Strategy”. Published in English, a partial version is available here, and the full version may be sent to your email address upon demand through the website’s contact form.

The Deutsche Bahn (DB) has been a pace maker on the European rail market. After many years of reforms the national railway company now appears as a model for all European railroads to stick to.

It is noteworthy that, over time, the DB managed to make its freight rail operations profitable and seems to have made the appropriate choices. Therefore, other national railway companies such as SNCF are now attempting to adapt similar strategies.

This document strives to analyse the path followed by the DB and gets back on the national railway company strategy’s key points that led to success.
