Cargo-partner offers truck option from China

[ July 25, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

Austrian forwarder Cargo-partner is offering a full truckload road service between China and Europe via the Middle Corridor, as a supplement to existing rail services. Trucking via Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus and Türkiye takes 22-25 days and has recently become an increasingly viable alternative to air, sea freight and rail transport, says the operator.

The road transport team in China offers continuous tracking along the entire route and, by monitoring changing local circumstances, can select the most favourable route and border crossing.

The first transport, a temperature-controlled shipment of lithium batteries for an automotive customer, was completed in early July. The logistics provider constantly monitored not only the transport but also of the temperature of the cargo.

To date, the service has been requested by customers in the electronics, e-commerce and automotive sectors.
