History

DB Engineering & Consulting (DB E&C) originated from the establishment of Deutsche Eisenbahn-Consulting in 1966. [1] Originally an independent entity, it became fully owned by Deutsche Bahn in 2002. [2]

In 2003, Deutsche Eisenbahn-Consulting became a 100% subsidiary of DB ProjektBau, a newly formed DB company.

By 2007–2008, Deutsche Eisenbahn-Consulting underwent rebranding as DB International. Operating independently within the DB Group, DB International focused on client business in domestic and international markets, while DB ProjektBau concentrated on domestic projects.

In 2016, DB ProjektBau and DB International merged, forming DB Engineering & Consulting. [3] [4] [5] In the same year, DB E&C expanded its services by acquiring DB Umweltservice (formerly Bahn-Umwelt-Zentrum), expanding its range of services to include environmental analyses. [6] [7]

In 2017, DB E&C established the DB Rail Academy product division and started offering international vocational training and professional development for the transport sector. [8] [9]

The following year, DB Engineering & Consulting acquired infraView. [10] DB Engineering & Consulting, DB International Operations, and infraView were merged under the DB E.C.O. Group in 2019.

In 2020–2021, DB Engineering & Consulting acquired engineering and software developer ESE GmbH and acquired shares in inno2grid.

Activities

The company is focused on six main areas: design, construction supervision, consulting for mobility and logistics services and digitalisation, project management, validation and assessment, and environmental and geoservices. [11] [12] [13] [14]

The company employs around 6200 people in 2024 and is headquartered at the EUREF Campus in Berlin-Schöneberg. DB E&C has many locations in Germany and offices worldwide. [15] [16]

Since 2019, the company has been part of DB E.C.O. Group, in which the companies DB International Operations, infraView, ESE Engineering und Software-Entwicklung, inno2grid and DB E.C.O. North America, as well as local companies, subsidiaries and investments worldwide, have been bundled alongside DB E&C. [17] [18]
