For European importers and European enterprises trading with China, Germany is the engine of the European economy and the most important distribution hub for the China-Europe Railway Express in Europe. Cities such as Hamburg, Duisburg, and Mannheim are key arrival stations, where machinery, automotive parts, electronics, photovoltaic modules, textiles, and consumer goods from China arrive via rail and are then distributed to France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. Traditional maritime routes rely on chokepoints such as the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, and the Strait of Gibraltar, each vulnerable to geopolitical tensions. Long transit times, unstable schedules, and frequent port congestion have long been challenges for European importers.

China-Europe Railway Express LHZ Germany Headquarters is the distribution center and customer service center of the LHZ Group in Europe, leveraging the two major hubs of Hamburg and Duisburg to serve importers and distributors across Europe. Germany Headquarters provides end-to-end rail transport services from China to Europe, as well as customs clearance, warehousing, distribution, and last-mile delivery services within Europe.

The European Distribution Center is centered around Hamburg and Duisburg, radiating across Europe. After trains from China arrive in Hamburg or Duisburg, cargo is cleared through customs at Germany Headquarters and then distributed via Europe’s dense rail and road networks to Paris and Lyon in France, Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Antwerp and Brussels in Belgium, Milan and Turin in Italy, Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, London and Birmingham in the UK, and other major European cities. Delivery times from major German hubs to destinations across Europe: 2 days to Paris, 1 day to Rotterdam, 1 day to Brussels, 2 to 3 days to Milan, 3 to 4 days to Madrid, and 2 to 3 days to London (including the Channel Tunnel).

Germany Headquarters’ core advantages lie in its European distribution capabilities and localized services.
