General framework

Promotion of single wagon transport

The Federal budget item, which has created the financial conditions for the further promotion of single wagon transport, is endowed with almost € 300 million in the 2024 Federal budget. In 2024, facility price support, which also serves to strengthen single wagon transport, will be endowed with € 20 million, meaning that just under € 320 million in total is earmarked for the promotion of single wagon transport in the 2024 budget. The increased support for single wagon transport was approved by the European Commission in May 2024 and has therefore not yet been implemented in the first half of 2024.
