Environmental measures
- Of 850 diesel traction multiple units and locomotives, about 800 have been equipped with telematics systems, which measure fuel consumption and give driving recommendations to the multiple unit driver. Significant savings have already been shown in the first test drives. After the full rollout of the system, this type of energy-saving driving method NO. 8, is expected to save about 30,000 t CO₂ per year.
- Since November, DB Regional Bus Nordrhein-Westfalen has been operating the first Electric busNO. 63 in urban transport together with the Stadtbus Bocholt GmbH. The bus operates two lines and is fully eco-powered.
