Deutsche Bahn would have chosen four candidates for the acquisition of DB Schenker, allowing them to proceed to the final offer stage. This information was disclosed by Reuters on June 29, 2024, naming the potential buyers as Maersk, DSV, Bahri, and CVC, with the latter in a consortium with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and GIC (Singapore). These details are based on information from “sources familiar with the matter” and are therefore unofficial. The same sources also indicate that at least one offer exceeds fifteen billion euros, while others range from thirteen to fourteen billion euros.
