For European enterprises and companies operating in the European market, China is the largest trading partner. Trade volume continues to grow across machinery, automotive components, electronics, textiles, consumer goods, and chemical products. Traditional supply chains between Europe and China rely on maritime routes via the Suez Canal, which takes 35-45 days and is vulnerable to geopolitical risks, port congestion, and delays.
LHZ-CR EXPRESS · China-Europe Railway Express has developed a dedicated bilateral rail route 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, priority service during peak seasons.
The China-Europe rail route ensures stable bilateral cargo flow. From China to Europe: machinery, automotive components, electronics, textiles, consumer goods, equipment, 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.
