China Europe Trucking

Ai Logistics is one of the top freight service forwarders in China, specializing in international delivery from China to various destinations in Europe. We offer door-to-door transportation services regardless of location. Trucking freight between China and Europe has always been a popular choice for businesses and individuals looking to transport goods by truck.

1. Advantages of Ai Logistics:

• Truck freight is widely used for international goods transportation and plays a significant role in logistics.

  In the context of China-EU logistics, it is considered a smart financial choice, often surpassing the speed and CO2 emissions of alternative options like air and train freight. Truck transport offers cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness that other modes lack. For example, trucking costs 2-3 times less than rail transport and has a smaller carbon footprint.

• Ai Logistics specializes in seamless shipping from China to Europe.

  We provide comprehensive services such as export customs clearance, shipping insurance, transit customs clearance, overseas warehousing, and destination customs clearance. We have efficiently operated through key ports like Alashankou and Horgos to Europe. With warehouse hubs in North, East, and South China, as well as Germany, our business scope is extensive.

• China Railway service operates with fixed departure and destination stations and dedicated routes, ensuring efficient deliveries.

  Air freight also offers fixed airports, facilitating swift international access. Although road freight may not be as cost-efficient as rail transport, its speed compensates for this. Road freight trucking is well-suited for appointment-based deliveries, allowing direct unloading at warehouses or shipping facilities. This is particularly beneficial for multi-stop routes, minimizing the time spent relocating goods.

2. Benefits of trucking transportation:

• Road Freight Trucking is known for its speed and short lead time.

  Compared to air freight, the time required for pickup and door delivery is significantly shorter. Road freight trucking is ideal for transporting large, time-sensitive batches of goods or individual items that exceed the acceptable dimensions and weight limits of rail freight trains.

• Trucking plays a crucial role in the last mile delivery process.

  This term usually applies to road or rail transport, with occasional use of air transport. Given that last mile delivery often contributes the most to delivery time and costs, efficiency is key.

• Road freight trucking services provide solutions to many issues faced by companies importing from China.

  The route typically involves traveling across Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and other European countries. The total travel time from China to Europe usually falls between 13 to 22 days.

• Currently, road freight trucking offers more flexibility than sea logistics.

  Allowing customers to save on transit time while navigating the challenges of today's shipping landscape.

3. Cost-effectiveness and short duration of the service:

Road freight trucking is the second fastest mode of transportation after air freight. It takes around 13 days for goods to travel from China to Europe by road, while air freight takes 10 days, the China-Europe Railway takes 16 days, and sea freight takes 50 days. Although road freight is slightly slower than air freight, it is still faster than both rail and sea options. Despite being slightly slower, road freight offers significant cost savings compared to air freight. It is a preferred choice for international shipping, especially given the current challenges in the logistics industry due to container shortages and port congestion.

  The TIR Convention simplifies cross-border trucking and customs clearance. Enforced since 2019, it enables customs-free border crossings for trucks with international carnet plates, reducing delivery time and effort significantly.

• Safe Trucking Shipments:

  Under TIR, sealed vehicle transport is either Full Truck Load (FTL) for a full shipment or Less Than Truck Load (LTL) for shared containers. LTL offers cost-efficiency and environmental benefits.

• Monitoring Cross-Border Trucking:

  Safety is crucial for international shipping. Real-time GPS trackers and smart locks ensure secure transport. Tracking containers and preventing tampering safeguards cargo integrity throughout transport.
