Truck freight between China, Europe poised for big growth

Flexibility, cost advantage and ability to handle large volumes boosting demand

Truck freight between China and Europe is set to increase substantially after a vehicle loaded with high-tech manufacturing equipment successfully completed the 11,000 kilometer road journey from Dornstadt in Germany to Shanghai in two weeks.

The freight-laden truck crossed Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan before entering China for the final leg of its journey. It was also the first Europe-to-Shanghai truck freight by Suzhou-based logistics company, Suzhou Daoxin Supply Chain Management Co Ltd.
