An efficient alternative to sea and air transport

Rail freight

Faster than sea, cheaper than air

Rail freight is currently one of the most stable and predictable solutions for transporting goods from China to Europe. It combines shorter transit times than sea freight with significantly lower costs than air transport. Thanks to fixed routes and regular schedules, it allows importers to plan shipments without the risk of long delays.

New Silk Road

Why rail freight?

Rail transport is particularly effective where a balance between time, cost, and security is required. It is chosen by importers who want to reduce dependency on port congestion and fluctuating freight rates.

Higher delivery predictability

Shorter transit time compared to sea freight

Stable costs and fixed schedules

Lower carbon footprint than air transport

China–Europe rail route

The main rail corridor from China to Poland operates within the framework of the New Silk Road. Trains depart from major logistics hubs such as Xi’an, Chengdu, and Chongqing, and travel through Central Asia towards Europe.

A key point along the route is the EU border, where containers are transshipped due to different rail gauge systems. Poland plays a strategic role as one of the main entry gateways into Europe for rail freight from China.

Why rail freight?

Rail freight based on predictable principles

Transit time

The average transit time from China to Poland is 15–22 days, depending on the origin, route, and current operational conditions.

Fixed schedule

Regular departures and stable timetables make rail freight a predictable solution, enabling efficient planning of supply chains and distribution.

Cargo security

Goods are transported in sealed containers with limited third-party access. The route is predefined, and shipments are monitored along key sections of the corridor. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, theft, or loss.
