德国国营铁路公司德意志铁路（Deutsche Bahn）据报道在2026年上半年实现了核心业务盈利，利润达数亿欧元，这是该公司7年来首次核心业务盈利[1]。同期，公司运送了约9.6亿名乘客，较2025年同期增加1700万人，创下运载纪录[1]。公司首席执行官埃夫琳·帕拉（Evelyn Palla）定于周四呈报上半年业绩[1]。
德意志铁路的客运增长主要得益于燃油价格上升，导致通勤者从私家车转向区域列车出行，而公司铁路票价保持稳定[1]。2025年上半年公司曾亏损约7.6亿欧元，全年净亏损超过10亿欧元[1]。同时，约60万人使用了临时票，20万人使用了家庭票[1]。
Deutsche Bahn, Germany's state-owned railway operator, has achieved core business profitability in the first half of 2026, marking its first such result in seven years, with profits reaching hundreds of millions of euros [1]. The company transported a record 9.6 billion passengers during the same period, representing an increase of 17 million passengers compared to the first half of 2025 [1].
The turnaround contrasts sharply with the railway's recent financial struggles; the company posted a loss of approximately 760 million euros in the first half of 2025 and a net loss exceeding 1 billion euros for the full year 2025 [1]. Deutsche Bahn attributed the passenger growth primarily to rising fuel prices, which prompted commuters to shift from private cars to regional trains, while railway ticket prices remained stable [1]. The company also noted that approximately 600,000 passengers utilized temporary tickets and 200,000 used family passes during the period [1]. CEO Evelyn Palla is scheduled to present the first-half financial results on Thursday [1].
