  8. Competitors are Challenging the Performance of the Railways Flight Achieving carbon-neutral growth by 2020 Improving fuel efficiency by ~1.5% p.a. (2009-20) Reducing CO2-emissions by 50% by 2050, relative to 2005 Trucks Reducing CO2-emissions by 30% by 2030,relative to 2007 Electric cars Example Germany – Target 2050:Almost no use of fossil fuels for inner city transport Railways need answers to meet these developments. Otherwise they will loose their environmently friendly image and support in society. 8 DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  9. Political priorities indicate a consequent transition towards low carbon solutions and stricter regulation December 2008, EU Energy and Climate Package created a new target of a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions on 1990 levels by 2020 September 2009, EU Commission President Barroso stated that lowering carbon emissions and tackling those from transport in particular as a key action for the new Commission October 2009, EU Environment Council agreed on the need to set a long-term target for emissions reduction at EU level, specifying a reduction target of 80-95% by 2050 March 2011, EU Commission published the new White Paper on Transport, setting a carbon reduction target for transport of 60% by 2050 and a 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport 9 9 DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  10. Customers Expect Green Services just as much less not at all Relevance of Green Mobility Source: A. Rützel: Die Publizität von Umweltkommunikation der Deutschen Bahn AG anhand einer Trendumfrage bei Bahnkunden, 2005 • Question: How would you continue to use rail if it no longer had an environmental advantage? • Answer: • 3 per cent of customers would no longer travel by train if rail were to lose its environmental advantage • 24 per cent of customers would no longer use rail so frequently Driver of Green Logistics Source: INVL Studie: Grüne Logistik, 03/2010sample of 108 carriers and logistic providers • Customer requirements concerning Sustainability and Green Logistics are increasing • Declaration of CO2 becomes a standard in call for tenders • Specific declaration of transport CO2-emissions needed • Sector requires a standardized methodology how to model CO2-emissions 10 10 DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  26. DB’s Sustainability KPIs Example: The Commitment of the Members of theInternational Union of Railways (UIC) • UIC Declaration on Sustainable Mobility and Transport • The declaration addresses all aspects of sustainability and contains commitments towards customers and society as well as to responsible leadership in the railway sector. • Over forty railways have signed the Declaration until now, representing more than 60% of the total rail market around the world. • Signed by DB in November 2010 (as one of the first signatories). • UIC Reporting Guideline • Reporting on the progress of implementation is one of the obligations of the declaration. • The reporting guideline offers suitable indicators for each statement of the declaration to choose from (“voluntary standard”). • Accepted by international stakeholders (UN DESA, UNEP, UN Habitat, GTZ, universities, GRI, IÖW) in 2010. DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  27. Sustainability Report of the DB GroupTransparent and comprehensive reporting every 2 years • The DB sustainability report is an online report that contains all facts and figures about sustainability at DB (according to GRI). • Focus on core business: megatrends in the transport market (globalization, climate change/dwindling resources, liberalization and demographic change) are connected with a sustainable perspective for the future. • The second DB sustainability report was published in summer 2009. • The report was again ranked the best report in the sector-specific German ranking of sustainability reports in 2009 and was ranked 5th among all reports. (the first report, in 2007, was ranked 12th) Online at www.deutschebahn.com/sustainability-report DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  31. Climate protection: DB has defined ambitious targets, the new Climate Protection Program is well established and on track Target 1990-2006: 36% lower CO2-specific emissions (rail only) By 2020: 20% lower CO2-specific emissions (all Group activities) • ü -36% -20% CO2-specific emissions CO2-specific emissions 2006 2020 2006 1990 DB AG has reduced CO2-specific emissions by 8% in 2010 compared to 2006 DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

The traction current mix is the lever for environmentally friendly rail transport Traction Current Mix of DB in 2010* Lignite 13,0% Natural Gas 10,5 % • Additional purchase of 235 GWh traction current from renewable sources in 2010 by DB Business Units via CO2-free offers • CO2 avoidance of DB customers of 140.000 t Others 2,4% Renewables 19,8% Hard Coal 32,1% Nuclear 22,2% * prelimenary value with regard to final reporting according to Federal German Law (§42 EnWG) Source: DB DB goal by 2020: a share of Renewables of at least 35% DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  34. Energy-saving experts without losing time: DB’s train drivers Energy-saving training • Program energy saving driving in operation since 2002 • Technical driver support on board (ESF EBuLa*) and in depots (EIS**) • General potential of 3 – 8% savings relating to baseline • Train drivers use physics: Once a train has reached its scheduled highest speed, it can roll for long distances while barely losing speed. • A trained ICE train driver can save enough energy on the Hamburg-Munich route to satisfy the annual energy requirements of a four-person family. • Combined with the savings of DB Schenker, the pollution in the atmosphere has been reduced by about 310,000 metric tons of CO2 since 2002.

By using new and enhanced vehicle generations, rail energy consumption decreases and thus CO2 emissions as well S-Bahn class 423 (replacement of class 420) E-locomotive class 146 (replacement of class 111) Wolfgang Klee Claus Weber Energy savings - 56% - 23% Source: DB DB Environment Centre, Henning Schwarz, Belgrade 30th September 2011

  37. Regenerative braking generates current, thus saving energy • Modern electric engines can transform the train’s kinetic energy into current when braking. • The current generated flows back into the electricity grid and can be used by other trains. • About 850 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of current were generated in this way in 2009, or almost 9% of the total traction current consumption.
