Revenues from freight and passenger transport services were generated mainly by companies operating in the DB Schenker, DB Regional, DB Long-Distance and DB Cargo segments. They included a minor amount of revenues from sub-operating leases in the DB Schenker segment. The DB InfraGO segment primarily generated revenues from the operation of infrastructure and revenues from rental and leasing. Revenues from sales of material were generated almost exclusively in the DB Energy segment. Other revenues related to virtually all segments.
