Last week, the summer party of the Innovation Alliance between Deutsche Bahn AG and TU Darmstadt took place: on June 23, 2022, the alliance members met for a summerly get-together to exchange information about current projects and the activities of various working groups.

Within the Innovation Alliance, our department is represented by the “Research Lab Innovative Freight Car m²”, a cooperation institute between TU Darmstadt and DB Cargo. In the context of this, we would like to express our sincere thanks for and are pleased about the presence of Arne Redlin from DB Cargo and Raphael Hackober from the department at this year's summer party.

The aim of the cooperation institute is to promote joint research and cooperation in the field of planning and analysis of logistics and transport services and to create attractive offers in the areas of teaching, training and further education as well as university marketing. Joint research projects form the core of the Research Lab Innovative Freight Car m².
