China - Europe rail route: fast and reliable planning

The Rail link between China and Europe has established itself as a reliable alternative to sea freight. With transit times of 18-24 days, rail freight is significantly faster than transport routes via the Suez Canal, which take 40-50 days.

The Małaszewicze hub in Poland is a central transhipment point where the switch to lorry transport creates cost benefits. Dörrenhaus organises both full and part loads on this route - fully monitored, efficiently and safely.
