Article: 20 years of DB Cargo France: a milestone in rail freight transport

DB Cargo France celebrates two decades of success and innovation with a new slogan and strategy.

DB Cargo France is celebrating a special anniversary this year: 20 years of success in rail freight transport. Founded in January 2005 as Euro Cargo Rail (ECR) by the English Welsh & Scottish Railway, the company became part of the DB Group in November 2007. Since then, DB Cargo France has developed into one of the leading private rail freight operators in France.To mark its anniversary, DB Cargo France not only presented a new slogan, but also a clear vision for the future. The new slogan ‘Facilitez-vous le fret ferroviaire’ - which translates as ‘Simplify rail freight transport for yourself‘ - emphasises the company's commitment to making rail freight transport more efficient and accessible.With this anniversary, DB Cargo France not only looks back on two decades of success, but also to a promising future in which the company will continue to play a key role in rail freight transport.
