China-Europe Railway Express

Product Specification

The China-Europe Railway Express is a national-level strategic cross-border logistics backbone channel connecting China and the European continent. As a flagship project of the "Belt and Road Initiative", it integrates all-round services such as international railway intermodal transportation, customs clearance agency, border re-loading, and warehousing distribution. With its core advantages of large transportation volume, low cost, and high stability, it has become the preferred solution for balancing timeliness and cost in China-Europe trade, and is widely applicable to the transportation needs of large quantities of industrial products and cross-border e-commerce bulk goods. 

1. Core line coverage 

Three major international railway corridors have been constructed, namely the Western, Central and Eastern routes. The network covers the entire Europe and precisely connects the regions. 

China Assembly Center: With Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Suzhou, and Yiwu as the core departure points, relying on China's well-developed railway network, it undertakes the centralized transportation and distribution of goods across the country.
European Destination Hub: Directly reaching Malašević in Poland, Hamburg / Duisburg in Germany, Prague in the Czech Republic, and Budapest in Hungary, as well as other core border and inland hubs. Through the European railway / container network, it achieves deep radiation and terminal distribution to the entire territory of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and other EU countries, as well as non-EU countries. 

2. Product Core Advantages 

Cost-effective and with excellent value for money: 

The freight rate is stable and lower than that of air transportation, being only 1/4 to 1/3 of the air freight rate; the transportation capacity is much larger than that of road transportation, making it the economical choice for large-scale goods exports to Europe, effectively helping enterprises strictly control their logistics budgets.
The delivery time is stable and highly resistant to fluctuations: 

The overall delivery time is stable at 12-18 days (12-14 days for Western Europe, 14-18 days for Central and Eastern Europe). Compared to sea transportation (approximately 30-40 days), it is significantly shortened by nearly half. Moreover, it is less affected by weather and marine climate, operates continuously throughout the year, and is the best time-saving option to replace sea transportation.
The transportation capacity is sufficient and the scope of carrying is wide: 

Supports full container (FCL) and less-than-container-load (LCL) transportation, compatible with various types of containers such as 20GP, 40GP, 40HQ, etc. It can carry general goods, large items, electric products, cross-border e-commerce bulk goods, etc., meeting the diverse transportation needs of goods.
Safe and reliable, fully controllable throughout the process: 

By using closed railway transportation, the safety factor of the goods is high. A professional team provides one-stop customs declaration, unified customs supervision and full-process cargo tracking services, avoiding the cumbersome procedures and uncertain risks of road transportation, ensuring the safety and punctual arrival of the goods.
