UPS adds six new stations to its China-Europe multimodal railway service
UPS added six stations to its full and less-than-container load multimodal rail service between Europe and China, the world's largest trade lane.
Changsha, Chongqing, Suzhou and Wuhan stations were added in China to the existing stations of Zhengzhou and Chengdu. In Europe stops in Duisburg and Warsaw were added to the existing stops at Lodz and Hamburg.
"Our China-Europe rail services can save customers up to 65 per cent versus air freight and improve time-in-transit by 40 per cent versus traditional ocean freight service," said UPS forwarding chief Cindy Miller.
The four new Chinese stations were chosen for their close proximity to provincial industrial manufacturing, commercial and cultural centres in interior China.
Duisburg is in the heart of Germany's industrial Ruhr with access to onward river, rail, road and air transport services. Apart from being Poland's capital, Warsaw is also a centre of e-commerce warehousing and a manufacturing hub.
UPS China-Europe Rail service also includes the following features: closed circuit TV monitoring during train transition and seal management; temperature control using thermal liners, pallet covers, and diesel-powered reefer (heated) containers to protect more sensitive cargo; and Customs clearance limited to China and European import/export countries.
