Rail Freight
China–Europe and China–Central Asia rail corridors.
Rail freight connects China with Europe, Russia and Central Asia overland. For cargo and destinations on these corridors, it is a serious alternative to routing everything by air or sea.
Rail forms part of our multimodal and transit solutions. Routes are designed around the cargo and the relevant border crossings, including Khorgos and Alashankou where applicable.
Rail is rarely the whole journey. Border crossing formalities and reloading at connection points are planned into the route design, and rail legs combine with ocean, road or air where the route calls for it.
From corridor to connection.
Design the route.
The corridor and border crossings are selected around the cargo and the destination.
Plan the crossings.
Border formalities and reloading at connection points are planned before departure.
Book and load.
Rail booking, pickup and loading are coordinated with the connecting legs.
Reload and deliver onward.
Transfers at connection points and the onward leg are executed as part of the same movement.
Corridors, not just trains.
The value of a rail leg is in how it connects — across borders, gauges and modes.
- China–Europe rail corridorsRail connections between China and Europe, used for finished vehicles, e-commerce cargo and transit movements.
- Russia & Central AsiaRail routes into Russia and Central Asia, including corridors serving landlocked destinations such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
- Khorgos & AlashankouBorder crossing formalities at the relevant land ports are planned into the route, not discovered at the border.
- Reloading at connection pointsReloading and transfer at connection points are part of the route design, coordinated with the legs on either side.
- Finished vehicles by railIn one representative project, 200 finished vehicles moved by rail from Xi'an to the Małaszewicze area in Poland before onward road delivery.
- Rail within multimodalRail+road, sea+rail and other combinations are designed as single movements, not booked as separate legs.
200 vehicles. Three countries. One batch.
One coordinated movement. Vehicles were picked up in Guangzhou and moved to Xi'an. Rail then ran from Xi'an to the Małaszewicze area in Poland, followed by onward road transport to Ukraine.
Planned at the connections. The movement combined rail and road with transit formalities and reloading at the connection points — coordinated as one batch across three countries.
Designed per route. Whether rail fits your shipment depends on the cargo, the corridor and the border crossings involved. We assess that per movement.
