LHZ China-Europe Railway Express (Germany Main Station): Hamburg and Duisburg Dual-Hub Distribution and Pan-European Road-Rail Dual-Mode Delivery
For local European auto dealers, large traders, and manufacturing customers, the biggest pain point when importing vehicles and full-category equipment from China is often not the transit time of the trunk line, but how to quickly and compliantly distribute goods to terminal factories or warehouses across borders after they arrive in continental Europe. Traditional European inland logistics often faces bottlenecks of cumbersome transshipment and uncontrollable timeliness.
As a core business sector under LHZ Global Holding Group, LHZ China-Europe Railway Express (LHZ-EXPRESS) under LHZ TIR Trucking, together with the LHZ Trucking matrix, has created a full-chain delivery channel of "railway bulk direct delivery + flexible road complementarity" for the European market. With Hamburg and Duisburg in Germany as core hubs, we radiate the terminal distribution network across Europe.
In terms of capacity foundation and hub distribution, LHZ TIR Trucking owns and cooperates with 1,770 TIR vehicles (including 470 Specialized Car-Carrier Trailers). After the railway express arrives at the Hamburg and Duisburg hubs, goods are seamlessly transshipped to the LHZ TIR fleet. Leveraging the dispatch advantages of European local and cross-border license plate vehicles, goods can be rapidly transshipped to Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, and all of Europe, with delivery times within Europe stable at 12 to 15 days. When railway capacity is tight or ports are congested, it can be switched to TIR trucking with one click, ensuring delivery is not interrupted.
In terms of channel expansion and multinational cargo consolidation, the opening of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway in 2026 not only benefits the Chinese market but also provides a more efficient path for European customers to obtain Central Asian and Asian cargo, with the transit time to Tashkent shortened to 12 to 15 days and comprehensive costs reduced by about 28%. Meanwhile, vehicles and core parts from Japan and South Korea, after arriving at Chinese hubs by sea, can be loaded together with domestic goods at the 100,000 square meters of front warehouses of LHZ, and shipped via railway express directly to European hubs.
In terms of destination country landing and commercial synergy, LHZ not only provides logistics delivery but also fully opens up commerce. In 2026, LHZ China-Europe Railway Express and LHZ China-Europe Trucking completed a total delivery of 21,000 commercial vehicles in the European market. If customers in Europe need to obtain full-category vehicle sources, aftermarket parts, or deep customization solutions from China and Japan/Korea, they can seamlessly connect with the global operations center network already launched by LHZ Auto:

Customer Case Section
A large European auto parts distributor needed to centrally purchase a batch of new energy auto parts from China and Japan/Korea and distribute them to multiple warehouses in Germany, France, and Poland. Facing the complexity of multi-country distribution, the customer accessed the German hub solution of LHZ TIR Trucking. Goods arrived at the Duisburg hub via LHZ China-Europe Railway Express, then were transshipped to the LHZ TIR fleet, completing customs clearance and door-to-door delivery across multiple European countries within 12 days. LHZ Auto provided subsequent parts supply chain support for terminal customers.
