The federal government’s strategy places rail at the center of a sustainable transport push. In comparison, roads will receive €51.9 billion, and waterways are set to get €7.6 billion over the same period.

Germany aligns transport renewal with climate and economic goals

In March, Germany amended its constitution to enable up to €500 billion in extra borrowing for defense, climate initiatives, and infrastructure renewal, supporting long-term national resilience.

This investment in rail supports lower carbon emissions, better logistics efficiency, and higher rail usage for passengers and freight, reinforcing Germany’s climate commitments and economic competitiveness.

Germany’s transport system has struggled with delays, capacity issues, and outdated infrastructure. But this initiative aims to reverse those trends with significant upgrades and long-term digital modernization.

So, Germany’s rail sector is positioned for major transformation. With strong financial backing and strategic priorities in place, the country moves toward a cleaner, faster, and more efficient mobility future.
