6. 2010-03-19 Chart 6 Why doubled intermodal traffic volume? Domestic traffic in Germany: implementation of block train systems shifting responsibility for service profiling and economic risks from railways to intermodal operators International traffic: extension of block train systems to virtually all corridors:  Catching new European markets  Faster, road-competitive services  Cost-effective rail production: shuttle and gateway services  Synchronized time-schedules  Multiple daily departures  Building European networks Improvement in rail infrastructure: loading gauge etc. Intermodal Traffic In Germany

7. 2010-03-19 Chart 7 Why doubled intermodal traffic volume? Competition on rail traction services on domestic network since 2000, and on important international lanes such as the Brenner as of 2001:  Cost control  Service quality improvement Competition on intermodal operator level:  Innovations in services, technologies and business models  Tapping new freight market potentials Booming economy Growth of global container flows Intermodal Traffic In Germany

8. 2010-03-19 Chart 8 Why doubled intermodal traffic volume? EU enlargement driving especially marine container traffic Improved cost competitiveness with road:  Fuel cost increase  Saturated truck capacities  Limitations on truck drivers  Restrictions on truck drivers’ working hours Massive enlargement of intermodal terminal capacities (not only) in Germany Intermodal Traffic In Germany

9. 2010-03-19 Chart 9 4 categories of intermodal terminal investments Intermodal Terminal Investment Programme In Germany Ownership Financial sources / state subsidy 2007 share of total handling capacity (estimated) DB Netz Federal state (BSchwAG): 100% of eligible cost 24 % Private companies Federal state (FKV): up to 85% of eligible cost 56 % Private companies Various (regional funds, EU): 30-50 % of investment 15 % Private companies 100% privately financed 5 % Source: KombiConsult Since 1998 the overwhelming majority of investments has been implemented under the FKV funding regime.

10. 2010-03-19 Chart 10 General information on Directive “FKV” First coming into effect: March 1998 Currently, the 4 th edition is being applied due to expire on 31 Dec 2011. Prerequisites for every renewal:  Evaluation study (carried out by Hacon and KombiConsult)  Notification by European Commission Germany is committed to promoting intermodal traffic only through the funding of the construction of terminals. There are no other instruments such as operational subsidies; discounts on fuel or infrastructure access fees; funding of intermodal equipment or information technology. Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals

11. 2010-03-19 Chart 11 Principles of funding Eligible beneficiaries: only private companies Terminal categories: rail/road; barge/road; trimodal facilities Measures: new terminals and enlargement measures Purpose: ensuring handling rate in line with market What’s funded: all items and facilities required for enabling the transhipment of intermodal units. Max. funding rate: 85% of eligible costs Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals

12. 2010-03-19 Chart 12 Principles of funding Prerequisites for funding:  Private capital doesn’t ensure viability (10y business plan)  Ensuring non-discriminatory access (public terminal)  No cannibalization of existing terminals, also cross-border  Public tendering of terminal management (investor may not hold more than 50% of shares of operating company)  Public tendering of all investments  Bank guarantee corresponding to funding amount  Commitment to operate facility for 10/20 years Procedure:  Application at any time (no call!)  Formal application to federal authorities Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals

13. 2010-03-19 Chart 13 Impacts of directive Directive For Funding Intermodal Terminals Total subsidies 1998 – 2007: € 510 million Total handling capacity created: 3.6 million loading units Annual traffic shift effect (2006):34 million tonnes 2.1 million truckloads Environmental benefit (2006):€ 465 million
