Environmental measures

• Since 2018, ICE, IC and EC trains in Germany have been running on electricity from 100% renewable energies sources. TÜV SÜD audited and certified the use of 100% eco-power for these journeys for the first time in June 2024. The review will take place annually in future.
• By digitalizing the BahnCards 25 and 50, we and our customers are saving over 30 t of plastic per year.
• Since March 2024, the new CO₂ savings clock on bahn.de has been counting the CO₂e savings made by DB Long-Distance Transport in real time compared to traveling by car. In this way, we are able to show our customers the positive effects they can achieve by choosing rail as a means of transport. The CO₂ Compass has also been available to BahnBonus app users since April 2024. This feature also allows you to view your personal CO₂e savings compared to a car. This saving is made more tangible through illustrative comparisons, for example how often laundry could be washed with the amount of CO₂e saved.
