Why Choose a Cargo Train from China to Europe?

  • Faster than sea freight: typical rail transit 15–20 days vs. 35–45 days by sea.
  • More cost-effective than air: ideal balance of speed and price for FCL and LCL cargo.
  • Reliable routing: diversified corridors reduce dependency on congested seaports.
  • Environmentally friendly: significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to air and road.
  • High security: monitored block trains, protected terminals and controlled handovers.

 

Cargo Train Routes from China to Europe

Today, shippers increasingly use rail corridors that bypass unstable routes and reduce transit time.
One of the key solutions is the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR),
also known as the Middle Corridor, connecting China with Europe via:
China – Kazakhstan – Caspian Sea – Azerbaijan – Georgia – Türkiye – EU.

Through this route, block trains and multimodal services integrate rail, ferry crossings
across the Caspian Sea, and rail or truck delivery into major European logistics hubs.
Recent infrastructure upgrades and growing cargo volumes confirm the Middle Corridor
as a strategic alternative for China–Europe rail freight.
