Future sales markets

Our opportunities for growth in the German passenger transport market are limited, both due to the high level of competition and restrictions imposed by antitrust laws. As such, our focus remains on improving quality, expanding capacity and, therefore, on defending our strong market position and increasing the share of rail in intermodal competition. In the German passenger transport market, we expect to see a shift towards needs-oriented road transport in the medium term.

In the area of rail freight transport, we continue to focus on the European market. We have a good position on central European axes and offer connections as far as China.
