Based on the development in the first half of the year and the current assessments for the second half of 2021, we have partially adjusted our expectations:

  • The performance development in local and long-distance transport in Germany will be somewhat weaker than assumed in March 2021 due to the longer-than-expected restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Group-wide employee survey takes place every two years. As part of the follow-up process, cross-team cooperation workshops will be carried out in the first half of 2021. Building on the results of the survey, the aim of these workshops is to work on cooperation and on the five principles of the compass for strong teamwork.
