The are structured along the logistics chain and are divided into basic, additional and special. For the sake of clarity, we have only included the additional in the service catalogue. These are that supplement the actual wagon transport. Basic service: The basic service is the defined minimum scope of every transport service provided by DB Cargo. A reduction in the scope of a basic service is not possible. The basic service applies equally to the transport of loaded wagons and empty private wagons. Additional : All additional to the basic service agreed with the customer are presented as additional and form the basis for a customised offer. The catalogue of additional represents all additional currently possible with DB Cargo, e.g. weighing. You can create a customised package and offer with your sales assistant. The additional can be listed and settled separately, or we can offer you a package including all additional for a lump sum price. Special : Sometimes things do not work the way they should: Special are we provide that were neither agreed nor planned. Special are not offered on the market and cannot be ordered. Due to the lack of planning possibilities, special generally result in unavoidable additional costs. Page 4
