DB Schenker to DSV
Author: ShortlinesUSA

Simple question-- Does this sale involve any physical rail operations? I have had difficulty ascertaining so, as Schenker is referred to in news stories as DB's "logistics arm." I think that word is a bit overused in modern transportation, but I digress. Logistics can be anything from arranging cargo loads to driving a truck. So where does DB's cargo rail fall in all of this?

Thank you for helping bring me some clarity!

It looks like the sale involves DB Schenker's air,
sea and trucking operations, not the railfreight.
The railfreight arm has been known as DB Cargo
for awhile now. I believe that untangling the
Drivers from DB Regio and DB Cargo would
reduce the efficiency of both as various contracts
change. It will be interesting to see how thisĀ 
affects Kombiverkehr and DUSS (Deutsche
Umschlag auf Scheine und Strasse). Two
joint ventures that were owned through the
Schenker subsidiary.
