China Railway Express, as an important logistics transportation channel between China and Europe, has played a huge role in international trade and economic exchanges in recent years. The following are several main functions of logistics transportation on China Railway Express.
1. Promote international trade
China Railway Express provides efficient and stable freight transportation services, greatly reducing the transportation time between China and Europe. Compared to sea freight, the transportation time of China Railway Express is usually reduced by about half, making international trade activities more frequent and promoting bilateral economic cooperation.
2. Optimize the supply chain
China Railway Express effectively connects the supply chains between China and Europe, enabling more flexible logistics arrangements for enterprises. Enterprises can quickly adjust their production plans according to market demand, reducing inventory pressure and improving the overall operational efficiency of the supply chain. At the same time, the scheduled departure arrangement of trains also makes the supply chain more predictable.
3. Reduce logistics costs
Although the transportation cost of China Railway Express is higher than that of sea freight, it is still more cost-effective compared to air freight. For goods that require rapid response to market changes (such as electronic products, fashion products, etc.), China Railway Express has become an economically reasonable logistics choice, helping companies reduce overall logistics costs.
4. Enhance regional cooperation
The opening of China Railway Express has promoted economic cooperation and exchanges among countries and regions along the route. Through interconnectivity, countries have reduced trade barriers, promoted regional economic integration, and strengthened interdependence and cooperation among themselves.
5. Improve the level of logistics services
The successful operation of China Railway Express has promoted the development of related logistics service markets, including warehousing, distribution, customs clearance and other services. Logistics companies have to improve their service quality to meet the efficient needs of train transportation, thus promoting the progress of the entire logistics service industry.
6. Promote industrial transformation and upgrading
With the opening of China Railway Express, enterprises are facing more market opportunities. This has driven enterprises to innovate and upgrade in technology, management, and products to adapt to the new international market environment, thereby enhancing overall competitiveness.
7. Support green logistics
China Railway Express has more environmental advantages compared to traditional transportation methods. The carbon emissions of railway transportation are much lower than those of road and air transportation, which helps to achieve sustainable development goals and promote the development of global green logistics.
8. Enhance trade facilitation between countries
The continuous development of China Railway Express has significantly improved the trade convenience between countries along the route. The opening of the train has simplified customs procedures, shortened clearance time, and provided convenience for commercial exchanges between enterprises from various countries.
The logistics transportation of China Railway Express has played an important role in connecting the Chinese and European markets, promoting trade, optimizing supply chains, and promoting regional cooperation. With the trend of global economic integration, trains will continue to be an important link in promoting international exchanges and cooperation, contributing to the economic development of participating countries.
