Deutsche Bahn's rail freight business DB Schenker Rail AG was renamed DB Cargo AG with effect from March 1. All DB Schenker Rail companies in Germany and elsewhere are to be rebranded by the end of 2016. DB's passenger and rail freight transport business units were combined into a Traffic & Transport Division in August 2015, and will now use the DB logo as a single more straightforward brand. The aim is to improve the product portfolio and service quality we offer our customers, and having the business units in the rail system partnering together will further that aim, said Andreas Busemann, Head of Sales at DB Cargo.
