Working in conjunction with DB Schenker Rail, Kombiverkehr is now turning the dream of CO₂-free rail transport in Germany into reality: transport that does not pollute the environment!

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are the primary cause of global warming. Freight transport is responsible for approximately one quarter of all CO₂ emissions in Europe. And this figure is growing in line with the volume of traffic. But there is an alternative. For an extra charge, the de.NETeco+ network service from Kombiverkehr offers 100% carbon-free transport with "Eco Plus", a product from DB Cargo designed for freight moved mainly by rail within Germany. All the electricity bought by our supplier to transport these consignments comes from purely renewable energy sources. Kombiverkehr will thus help you to achieve your own climate targets and those of your customers. Take a step into the logistics of the future with Kombiverkehr.

In collaboration with Optimodal Netherland B.V., Kombiverkehr connects the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp with the whole of Europe in hinterland services. Consignments arriving in the Ruhr district from Rotterdam and Antwerp are reloaded in the Duisburg-Ruhrort-Hafen DUSS and Neuss-Hessentor gateway terminals for onward transport to their final destination by national and international direct and shuttle trains in the de.NETdirect+ and eu.NETdirect+ networks.

Hinterland services over long distances – for example to and from Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia – are thus possible with Kombiverkehr and Optimodal.
