Deutsche Bahn intends to delay modernization plans for key rail routes until 2036, with a prior delay already extending to 2035. The refurbishment of over 40 high-use railroad lines will now take at least five years longer than initially projected. The modernization is viewed as urgent to address the frequent delays and malfunctions experienced by passengers and freight companies. In another development, Volkswagen has temporarily halted deliveries of its ID.Buzz electric vans to the US, citing US tariffs as a contributing factor.
