Actions involved
Railway undertakings independent from former state monopolist Deutsche Bahn deliver in Germany more than 50 percent of rail freight transport. Currently almost 80 of these railway undertaking are members of our association Netzwerk Europäischer Eisenbahnen (NEE/„Network of European Railways“), representing approximately 80-85 percent of the rail freight volume of all independent train operators. At the same time, we want to help achieve the German and European climate protection goals.
The objectives of Netzwerk Europäischer Eisenbahnen are:
– explaining the importance of railways to the public;
– representing the interests of its members vis-à-vis politics, authorities, industry and suppliers;
– supporting the exchange of best practices between members;
– promoting cooperation between members
We want to push the shift of freight from road to climate-friendly rail. That is why we are also committed to strengthening the competitiveness of rail freight compared to road freight.
