Explanation of the Characteristics of China Europe Railway Freight Transport

Many people are not familiar with China Europe railway freight, but those engaged in export trade do. It is a freight transportation method that has only become popular in recent years, and has formed the three mainstream modes of foreign trade transportation along with sea and air transportation. At present, the operation of China Europe railway freight is very simple, and it can even be said that customs clearance is more convenient than sea freight and air freight. These are inseparable from the construction of the Chinese government in the railway sector and the implementation of the the Belt and Road policy.

What is the difference between China Europe railway freight and sea and air freight? Literally speaking, it is a freight transportation method mainly using railways as the main means of transportation, which is not easily affected by the weather during transit. As we all know, air transport is vulnerable to the impact of convective air, maritime transport is vulnerable to the impact of sea waves, while railway transport is usually only affected by snowstorms and rainstorm. The China Europe railway section is less affected by weather, making cargo transportation safer. The time required for Sino European railway freight is between sea and air freight, which is about ten days faster than sea freight, and there is not much difference in transportation prices. Due to the relatively small impact on railway transportation and the strong guarantee of freight delivery deadlines, as well as strong support policies from government departments, it has become a very popular freight transportation method in recent years.

The range of goods that can be transported by China Europe railway freight is wider, and in addition to ordinary goods, many special goods that cannot be transported by air or sea can also be transported through this channel. Anyone who has traveled on the railway knows that the fluctuation of train carriages is very small, and goods transported through this method will not experience significant shaking. Goods that cannot withstand significant vibrations or have strict transportation requirements can choose the China Europe Railway freight.
