    Over 40,000 kilometers to achieve 1 goal

    Drift, drag, hill climb. The new Porsche GT4 e-Performance will have to prove itself in many disciplines on its tour. And so will we. Before each new stop for Porsche is a race for DB SCHENKER. On roads. On rails. And across oceans. Always with one grand prize in mind: a cleaner future.

    Greater China

    From Tokyo’s bustling streets to Greater China’s mainland, we’ve pioneered the way we do logistics and extended our racetrack another 3008 kilometers. Guided by our two custom containers, we maintain the seamless journey of the GT4 e-Performance amidst Shanghai's urban skyline and Guangzhou's lively streets. In Guangzhou, one of our DB SCHENKER electric trucks successfully facilitated an eco-friendly delivery to the Guangzhou Auto Show.

    Our adventures in APAC continue as we unveil our latest triumph: the flawless voyage of the GT4 e-Performance race car prototype from the glitzy streets of Singapore to the neon-lit boulevards of Tokyo.

But hold on to your racing helmets because here’s the twist – a select group of our employees got to rub shoulders with the GT4 e-Performance, feeling firsthand the exhilaration that comes from realizing we don’t just move cargo, we transport dreams and ignite passions.
