Overview

The fastest-growing trade lane on earth — the China–Europe corridor.

Rail freight has transformed Eurasian trade. The China–Europe rail corridor now carries over 15,000 trains annually — connecting manufacturing hubs in China's interior to European cities in 12–20 days. That's up to 70% faster than ocean freight, at a fraction of the cost of air freight, and with a carbon footprint that's 80% lower.

ZargoLogix operates weekly block train services on the main Belt and Road corridors, with block train access from Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, and Xi'an to Rotterdam, Hamburg, Warsaw, and Istanbul. Intermodal transfers to road or ocean at either end are included.
