1) Includes DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung GmbH from the Subsidiaries/Other area and DB Cargo AG and foreign subsidiaries without their stationary facilities from DB Cargo.
2) The data for 2024 constitutes a forecast as of February 2025.
Since 2023, the share of renewable energies has been presented separately without funding from the Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz; EEG).
Based on the development in 2025 so far and updated estimates, we have adjusted one of our expectations for development in the 2025 financial year:
- Compared to our forecast in the 2024 Integrated Report, we are now assuming a higher decrease in absolute greenhouse gas emissions. This is due to a lower than previously expected volume produced at DB Regional Rail and DB Cargo, leading to lower energy consumption. The forecast greenhouse gas intensity of purchased traction current has also been lowered.
