    Deutsche Bahn moves Germany. Every day.

    One railway. Reliable. For everyone.

    Infrastructure

    We operate a 33,400 kilometre-long network with 5,400 stations, which are used by 450 railway companies and 50,000 trains every day.

    Passenger transport

    Every day, more than five million people travel with Deutsche Bahn - in ICE and Intercity trains, in regional express trains or in regional and suburban trains.

    Logistics

    DB Cargo replaces around 80,000 lorry journeys across Europe each day, offering a climate-friendly alternative.

    A railway we can be proud of.

    With its new “DB 2035” strategy, Deutsche Bahn is charting its course for the next decade. The focus is on reliability, quality, and a noticeably better customer experience. Success will depend on a comprehensive transformation of the company, empowered decentralized entrepreneurship, and a profound cultural change. Central to this transformation is a culture where performance is valued and responsibility is rewarded.

    Remote monitoring using LoRaWAN™

    Even station clocks will be going digital in the future. Innovative remote monitoring will be able to identify and troubleshoot faults (such as the wrong time, lighting outages and water damage) in real time. Data will be transmitted using LoRaWAN™ long-range wireless technology, which is especially suited to Internet of Things applications due to its long range of over 10 km. Deutsche Bahn is the first transport company to test synchronizing its clocks using LoRaWAN™. The outside of clocks will look the same, but the inside will be digital and smart.
