| Transport route from China to Europe European importers from China can choose overland rail routes because of geographical differences that do not import goods like those from North or South America, and the connectivity of Eurasia. Due to the high cost of air and sea logistics solutions, this makes rail transport a good option. Features of rail transport: Climate has little effect Compared with sea and air transport, rail transport is less dependent on climate. Therefore, railway and road transport as a more flexible mode of transport is becoming more and more stable and important. Transport from China to Europe: Transport speed is relatively slow Although the speed of railway and road transport is slower than that of aircraft, the shipping container transport is the slowest, but the volume of transport is the largest, which leads to a lot of supply supply is not on the tight supply and demand, after all, further promote the development of railway and road transport. Transportation costs of doing business in China and Europe Freight rates are always subject to seasonal fluctuations. They are particularly high between the start of Christmas business in November and the Lunar New Year in late January or late February, and also depend on appropriate logistics service providers. The relationship between modes of transport is interesting. If goods are shipped from China to Europe by rail, the cost is about 50 percent of the cost of air transport. But road transport can also prove to be a cost-effective and attractive alternative to some goods. Silk Road to Europe: Pandemic as price driver With the Corona pandemic having a major impact on global supply chains and transport logistics, freight rates are currently soaring across all transport routes. In industrialized countries, demand for raw materials and finished products recovered quickly after the peak of the pandemic. Supply bottlenecks and disruptions are occurring for the first time due to a recovery in demand, a shortage of containers, a shortage of personnel, and long waiting times for ships at seaports. China - Europe Railway: Railway capacity is also increasingly insufficient No matter how much of the Silk Road rail network the Chinese government has developed, rail freight from China to Europe is experiencing capacity overload, waiting times, congestion at border crossings -- and rising prices -- since 2020. |
