3 Main Advantages of Rail Freight

In today’s fast-paced global market, speed and reliability are crucial for businesses looking to stay ahead of the competition. When it comes to shipping high-value goods between China and Europe, rail freight offers a superior solution. With transit times of just 16-20 days, rail freight is significantly faster than ocean freight, making it the ideal choice for industries that demand rapid delivery but flexible costs.

Rail freight offers several significant benefits over other shipment methods, including

Faster and More Cost-Effective

The China Europe Railway Express operates along Three Main Corridors

The Eastern Route

The eastern route primarily serves Chinese exports from coastal regions, notably Yiwu in eastern Zhejiang province. It exits China through Manzhouli in Inner Mongolia, traverses Russia, and enters Europe via Belarus and Poland.

The Central Route

The central route is dedicated to goods produced in central China and the southern coastal provinces like Guangdong, a manufacturing hub. It enters Mongolia through Erenhot in Inner Mongolia, crosses Russia, and then reaches eastern and western Europe.

The Western Route

The western route primarily facilitates exports from western China, entering Kazakhstan via Alashankou or Khorgos in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region before extending further into Europe. Most of these routes pass through Russia, Belarus, and Poland, with a few trains also transiting through Ukraine en route to Hungary.

China-Europe Railway Express Routes Map

The China-Europe Railway Express doesn’t follow a single route, but rather a vast network of railways that bridges two continents. Starting from China, traversing Central Asia, it finally ends in Western Europe, echoing the historic Silk Road Trade route. With 73 routes in operation, the China-Europe Railway Express connects over 50 cities in mainland China to 217 cities across 25 European countries.
