Fast service thanks to preferential treatment

The China-Europe Express enjoys a preferential position throughout China and most parts of the rest of the route. In Kazakhstan, for example, where the train crosses the border for the first time and containers have to be transshipped, the express train is given preference over local services.

Fixed departure and arrival times

Even when there are capacity problems on the route, the express train is generally given the green light for passage first, which significantly reduces transit time.

A fixed schedule with fixed departure and arrival times means that this service can be offered on a weekly basis with a high degree of reliability. And it won't stop there: there are plans to expand services and make rail transport even more competitive across the board.

Golden mean between sea freight and air freight

The express train cuts the transit time from China to Europe in half compared to sea freight and can also be offered at a lower price than air freight. The concept is the golden mean between sea freight and air freight, for when you need it to go just a little faster, but it also has to remain affordable.

HST Group offers a weekly departure from Xi'an every Wednesday with reliable service and transit time. Of course, we take care of picking up your shipment from all parts of China, including the main ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Qingdao, and Xiamen.
