Large-scale and heavy-haul transport (GST) makes a significant contribution to the economy and is indispensable for maintaining and transforming German business. Currently, avoidable bureaucratic hurdles and shortcomings in transportation infrastructure and digitalization, in particular, are hindering these essential transport operations.

Businesses and citizens need an efficient transportation infrastructure. New approaches are needed to ensure the transparent, long-term, and efficient development and financing of transportation infrastructure.

The call rings out loud and clear from all directions: “More freight on rails!” Rail has long been on the rise in the industrial sector. The German economy not only relies on rail, but will rely on it even more in the future: global trade and transport volumes will continue to grow, and logistics chains must increasingly be carbon-neutral.
