WORLD’S LARGEST CARRYPICK FACILITY QR codes on the floor are used to control the more than 60 self-driving transport robots in the recently opened DB Schenker logistics center near Stockholm. They drive the 1,550 mobile shelves to the warehouse workers’ workstation, where the goods are then combined and packed. NEW ICE 3 In 2015, we put additional ICE 3 trains of the new 407 series into service. They excel in terms of service and comfort and with their low energy con- sumption. Since the summer the ICE 3 trains have been in use for high-speed cross-border transport to France. MODERN TRAINS IN THE COLOGNE DIESEL NETWORK Further Vareo trains went into service in 2015. The two associated series, 620 and 622, can be coupled together, creating a train with 480 seats. Customers have the benefit of power outlets, folding tables, low-level door openers and diaper changing tables. INVESTMENT IN RIDESHARING APP FLINC In 2015 we acquired a stake in the flinc ridesharing platform. Integration of our timetables into the app means that users can optimize their journey by combining bus, train and car sharing.

  • Working Paper Document
    Implementation of EU legislation on rail liberalisation in Belgium, France, Germany and The Netherlands Working Paper Document by Xavier Deville and Fabienne Verduyn March 2012 No 221 National Bank of Belgium Limited liability company RLP Brussels – Company’s number : 0203.201.340 Registered office : boulevard de Berlaimont 14 – BE -1000 Brussels www.nbb.be Editor Jan Smets Member of the Board of directors of the National Bank of Belgium © Illustrations : National Bank of Belgium Layout : NBB Microeconomic Analysis Cover : NBB AG – Prepress & Image Published in March 2012 ABSTRACT This study provides a detailed and easy-to read overview of the railway liberalisation in Belgium and the three neighbouring countries. The European Union's liberalisation Directives are often complex and are implemented in very specific ways in the different Member States. The analysis goes into some detail about the Commission's underlying motives and economic theories for letting network industries, which had previously been regarded as natural monopolies, convert into competitive enterprises with the separation of infrastructure from operations. The study takes a look at the impact of the European rail liberalisation Directives in Belgium and its neighbouring countries - France, Germany and the Netherlands. There are considerable variations in the way in which the Directives are applied. It is reflected in the way in which the separation of the infrastructure and the transport services within the railway companies was carried out, and in the degree of opening of the market in freight and passenger transport. The analysis shows that the dominance of the former monopolists in the different Member States means that private rail operators face major obstacles.
