The diversification of services is one of the key factors for its success. From traditional agricultural and sideline products, industrial products to more than 200 types of modern goods such as small cars, precision instruments, electronic components, etc., the transportation categories of China Railway Express are constantly enriching. Especially at Guangzhou International Port, home appliances, electronic products and other manufacturing products in the Pearl River Delta have become the main transportation items. This change not only enhances the international status of Chinese manufacturing, but also brings more choices to consumers in countries along the route.

In addition, China Railway Express has also provided irreplaceable transportation services for the Chinese automotive industry and other industries, promoting investment and layout of domestic automakers overseas.
4. Facing challenges: adaptation and optimization of transportation services
Faced with the continuous turbulence of the international environment and high sea freight prices, the transportation services along China Railway Express have demonstrated their unique technological and economic advantages. Compared with traditional sea rail intermodal transportation, the comprehensive logistics cost of China Railway Express can be saved by 8% to 20%, which is highly attractive for high value-added and strong timeliness logistics needs. Especially after the outbreak of the Red Sea crisis, the freight demand for China Railway Express has significantly increased, demonstrating their important position in the global supply chain.
5. Service Innovation: Future Prospects for Transportation Services
The transportation services along China Railway Express continuously open up new channels, optimize customs clearance modes, and improve the quality of operation, providing a stable and efficient transportation channel for China Europe trade. For example, the full schedule of China Railway Express between Xi'an and Duisburg, Germany, Chengdu and Lodz, Poland runs a stable 5 trains per week, and 16 container return points for China Railway Express are added overseas to meet the diverse needs of global customers. These innovative measures not only improve the service level of China Railway Express, but also inject new vitality into the economic development of countries along the route.
