It took about 12 days for a batch of China-made TV modules, onboard a China-Europe freight train, to arrive in Poland, where they would be assembled into complete televisions.
TCL Photoelectric Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., a producer of TV modules located in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, is satisfied with the speed of the rail delivery in March, which allowed two factories nearly 10,000 kilometers apart to coordinate production.
“The transportation time of China-Europe freight trains is about half that of sea transport, which gives the factory plenty of time to finish orders placed by our European clients,” said the company’s logistics manager Shu Yongjun, adding that the company has increased deliveries through the rail route since the start of this year.
The company is among a growing number of manufacturers and traders that have opted for the land-based rail route, which connects China and more than 200 European cities, after regional turmoils disrupted the vital shipping lane on the Red Sea.
