Thanks to China’s Belt and Road Initiative which aims to enhance infrastructure connectivity and trade between China and Eurasian countries, rail freight services from China have become increasingly popular for e-commerce, automotive, electronics, and more. While rail freight is slower than air freight, it is significantly faster than sea freight. Rail shipments from China to Europe can typically take 10-15 days.
