Reducing greenhouse gases is a key lever for Deutsche Bahn in climate protection. It therefore tries to use the most climate-friendly solutions possible in all logistics processes. Thanks to Cargo Bikes, Deutsche Bahn goods can be transported by bicycle. This is practical and protects the environment.
From the warehouse to the trains
In Dresden, DB Services employees at the depot are now using electric cargo tricycles to transport cleaning materials to the trains quickly and in an environmentally friendly manner. The three-wheeler has an impressive load capacity and maneuverability. This makes it ideal for in-house use and reduces CO2 emissions. Another advantage: DB Services employees without a driving license can now carry out their tasks efficiently without a car. The bikes were put into operation since February 2025 and are now available to all employees at the Dresden site.
Cargo Bikes for last-mile logistics
In Berlin, we are testing delivery by Cargo Bike as part of our SmartCity initiative. Together with the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district and the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital we have built an innovative and sustainable logistics warehouse, the Micro-Hub Te-Damm. Here, goods are delivered, stored and then distributed to customers by climate-friendly Cargo Bike. Another micro-hub has opened its doors at Alexanderplatz station.
The both micro-hubs are also available to other logistics companies and traders as a storage location. Residents can order groceries and pick them up directly from the hub.
