For European enterprises trading with China, a reliable and time-efficient logistics chain is critical. Trade between Europe and China is growing steadily – from machinery, automotive components, electronics, and textiles to consumer goods and chemical products. Traditional supply chains between Europe and China rely on ocean freight, which takes 35-45 days and is vulnerable to disruptions including geopolitical risks, container shortages, and port closures.

LHZ-CR EXPRESS · China-Europe Railway Express has developed a dedicated bilateral full container load rail service between China and Europe. Trains operate through three border crossings: Alashankou, Khorgos, and Manzhouli, directly connecting China’s industrial centers with Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. Poland 14-16 days, Germany 16-18 days, Netherlands 16-18 days, France 18-20 days, UK 20-22 days. Weekly fixed departures in both directions, guaranteed space availability, priority handling during peak seasons.

The China-Europe railway route ensures stable cargo flow in both directions. From China to Europe: machinery, automotive components, electronics, textiles, consumer goods, chemical products. From Europe to China: automobiles, medical equipment, food products, cosmetics, industrial machinery, luxury goods.

Three border crossings provide routing flexibility and cargo distribution. Alashankou and Khorgos are the primary gateways for shipments to Central and Western Europe. Manzhouli is the optimal route for shipments to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.
