DB Cargo is Europe's largest freight railway and has been struggling for years with structural problems, earnings slumps and an investment backlog. A far-reaching restructuring is considered unavoidable. Update (1 Mar 2026): According to Deutsche Bahn, the supervisory boards of DB Cargo and DB approved the restructuring path; the plan envisages around 6,000 fewer jobs, to be implemented in a socially responsible way, and operating concepts and individual sites will only be negotiated with employee representatives once the expert report is finalised (report of 19 February 2026). On 1 March 2026 DB reported that the European Commission had positively confirmed the restructuring report, which secures funding and the restructuring plan to 2030 presented by Bernhard Osburg (board member); of about 25,000 jobs in the European business, around 19,000 are to be secured for the long term by 2030 (LOK Report, 19 Feb and 1 Mar 2026; second source: trans.info, 27 Mar 2026). — Sources: https://www.nachrichten.at/wirtschaft/massiver-stellenabbau-bei-frachtsparte-der-deutschen-bahn;art15,4140482 · https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/verkehr/65515-deutsche-bahn-eu-kommission-hat-sanierungsgutachten-fuer-die-db-cargo-ag-positiv-bestaetigt.html · https://www.lok-report.de/news/deutschland/verkehr/65272-deutsche-bahn-rueckenwind-fuer-sanierungskurs-von-db-cargo-und-abbau-von-6-000-stellen.html · https://trans.info/de/db-cargo-neustart-sanierungsplan-bestatigt-465157🤝 DB Cargo sells about 6,000 freight wagons to GATX and leases them back (Germany)tag:eurotrack.ai,2026:0008b832:en2025-11-10T06:00:00ZDB Cargo has concluded a sale-and-lease-back deal with wagon lessor GATX Rail Europe for about 6,000 freight wagons, which the competition authorities have cleared; the signing and clearance were celebrated at DB Cargo's headquarters in Mainz on 10 November 2025. DB Cargo hands over the wagons and leases them back for several years, so they remain fully available for customer traffic; the rental share of its freight wagon fleet rises to about 20%, and the GATX Rail Europe fleet grows to about 36,500 wagons. The report gives no purchase price; the date of the celebration is used, and the report appeared on 12 November 2025.
