Rail Freight

Efficient and Stable Overland Solutions

When air freight is too costly and ocean freight too slow, rail offers a reliable middle ground. Businesses looking for a balance between speed, cost, and environmental impact are increasingly turning to rail freight between China and Europe. But to make rail a real option, you need stable routes, predictable lead times, and smooth customs handling.

Our rail freight services offer fixed departures, flexible container options, and direct connections between China and key European countries. Whether you’re shipping general goods or time-sensitive stock, rail provides a dependable alternative to air and ocean freight.

Broad Rail Network

We connect major inland hubs in China with key European rail terminals through regular departures:

• Chongqing, Xi’an, Zhengzhou, Yiwu, Suzhou, and more
• Destinations across Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, France, and the UK

This network supports cross-border delivery via intermodal links, helping you reach final destinations efficiently

Balanced Transit Times

Rail freight typically cuts transit time in half compared to ocean shipping, with schedules that support just-in-time delivery. Standard transit times range between:

• 14–18 days door-to-door, depending on the route and service level
• Options for FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less-than-Container Load) shipping

Our teams work closely with operators to reduce delays and ensure schedule stability.

Flexible and Green

We offer:

• Container flexibility (20GP, 40HQ, LCL)
• Support for general cargo and certain DG categories
• CO₂ emissions significantly lower than air freight

Rail also helps reduce dependency on overbooked ocean and air routes, making it a practical, low-emission freight solution.
