DB Cargo: Innovative automation in shunting operations

Imagine a shunting locomotive that moves fully automatically through the Munich North marshalling yard, dismantling freight trains, sorting railcars and assembling new trains – efficiently, precisely and completely autonomously. This vision is becoming a reality with DB Cargo’s innovative “Vollautomatische Rangierlok” (VAL) project, which is aimed at shifting more traffic to environmentally friendly rail transport.
