DB Rail appoints new head
Alain Thauvette has been appointed head of Region Rest of DB Schenker Rail, the rail freight operators of Deutsche Bahn, with effect from February 1.
Concurrently, he is appointed CEO of DB Schenker Rail UK, who serves as a member of the management board of DB Schenker Rail, and president of Euro Cargo Rail France (ECR), the French subsidiary of DB Schenker Rail.
The Region West, which will be managed under the responsibility of Thauvette, also includes the companies Transfesa and ECR Spain.
The 54-year-old Thauvette, currently serving as Managing Director ECR will take over both these positions from Keith Heller, who is about to retire.
"Despite the difficult economic situation and fiercely competitive market environment, Alain Thauvette soon put the start-up company ECR on the right track for lasting success. By entrusting him with the management of Region West, we are clearly demonstrating our great confidence in the management skills, entrepreneurial creativity and extensive international experience of this colleague," said Alexander Hedderich, CEO of DB Schenker Rail.
