Deutsche Bahn wants to tackle debt with a spending freeze and a hiring freeze. The measures should not affect the operational area - but they should affect the group administration.

250 million euros should be saved on long-distance transport in order to achieve the goals for 2024. This would ultimately affect all of the railway's business areas in Germany, but not the international subsidiary Schenker, which is up for sale. The projects in the rail network and the key investment decisions this year should be implemented as planned.
