Global multimodal logistics operator, DB SCHENKER, has joined the IRU, the International Road Transport Union, as its newest corporate member.

Jochen Thewes, CEO at DB SCHENKER: “Joining the IRU is important for us to engage better within the road transport sector and beyond. Working with the IRU and its members will notably help us continue decarbonizing our operations, with our sub-contractors and partners, sharing knowledge and experiences with the wider industry.”
