DHL expands multimodal network to link Taiwan to mainland China and Europe
DHL Global Forwarding has added Taiwan to its fast expanding North Asia multimodal network. The sea link between Taiwan and mainland China offers customers a full-container load and door-to-door service.
The DHL Railline service will connect Taichung port to Shanghai with a rail link to Warsaw via Suzhou.
The new multimodal Taiwan-China-Europe service will offer freight costs savings of up to 85 per cent and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90 per cent compared to air freight with shorter transit times than ocean freight, a company statement said.
The scheduled service that uses a combination of trucking, sea and rail solutions to move cargo from Taiwan to China will reduce the delivery time by between 10 and 21 days, depending on origin and destination pairs, compared to solely using ocean freight.
Using the DHL Railline service, customers can block out single containers, wagon groups or whole block trains. From Europe, the service is also available via rail through mainland China and sea to Taiwan for import shipments.
CEO Steve Huang of DHL Global Forwarding China said: "Our new service extension comes at a time when China's 'One Belt, One Road' initiative -- an economic initiative of up to US$21 trillion -- is taking shape and expected to strengthen cross-border economic ties in markets between Europe and Asia.
"Our multimodal network directly links Taiwan to mainland China and Europe, both of which are among Taiwan's top five trading nations, bringing more opportunities to Taiwan enterprises. In addition, the European Commission recently announced that it is exploring negotiations on investment with Taiwan as part of a trade globalization plan."
