Our services
In the current wave of accelerated globalization and business integration, international land freight, with its unique charm, has become a solid backbone in international trade. It breaks through geographical boundaries, connects various national markets, and paves the way for the cross-border development of enterprises.
The land freight departing from China mainly consists of truck freight and railway freight (China-Europe Express).
Road Shipping (Trucking Service)
Road shipping is a crucial part of international land freight, featuring outstanding mobility and flexibility. As the main force, trucking services, especially the so-called “Trucking to Europe” (Ka Hang in Chinese), can reach deep into the inland areas, connecting factories, warehouses and markets, and accurately delivering goods to various destinations. Its transportation network is as fine and extensive as the capillaries in the human body, ensuring that goods can smoothly travel from China to Europe. Less-than-Truckload (LTL) consolidation gathers scattered small parcels, integrating the demands of small and micro foreign trade enterprises. While Full Truckload (FTL) transportation, with its powerful capacity and customized services, paves a fast lane for large-scale shipments, meeting the cross-border transportation needs.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL) Consolidation
Basic Introduction
Less-than-Truckload consolidation is a distinctive service model of trucking. It focuses on the intensive transportation of small and scattered shipments. Small parcels from different shippers are pooled together and loaded onto transport vehicles based on scientific loading plans, then shipped to destinations across Europe.
We have professional consolidation centers equipped with sophisticated cargo sorting and packing equipment. Customers only need to deliver their goods to the designated consolidation points, and we will take care of the complex processes such as consolidation, transportation, and customs clearance in one-stop. During transit, through a real-time monitoring system, the movement of each individual parcel can be tracked precisely to ensure accurate traceability.
Compared to sea transportation, its transportation time is shorter, while compared to air transportation, its transportation cost is lower. Especially for some high-value and urgently needed goods, it provides a fast, reliable, and cost-effective transportation method for trade and logistics between the two places.
Applicable Cargo Range
It is suitable for small commodities sent by various cross-border e-commerce sellers to European consumers, such as jewelry, beauty samples, creative stationery and other small e-commerce parcels, as well as auto parts samples mailed by automotive component manufacturers to explore the European market, and small quantities of scientific research reagents shipped by biological and chemical research institutions to their collaborating laboratories in Europe.
Advantageous Features
By sharing transportation space, the cost is shared, which can save customers a significant amount of logistics expenses compared to chartering a whole truck; multiple fixed departure schedules per week ensure timely shipment of goods and reduce waiting time; moreover, the one-stop service spares customers the hassle of coordinating with multiple parties. They only need to deal with us to easily send their goods overseas.

The Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) consolidation of the China-Europe Railway Express is like an “international container community”, gathering the scattered goods of small customers and transporting small hardware, textile raw materials and so on to Europe, helping small and medium-sized merchants expand their overseas markets. The Full Container Load (FCL) transportation is the “heavyweight carrier”, customized for large enterprises.
