Rail Transport
Intermodal rail freight connecting Europe and Asia with competitive transit times and reliable schedules.
Rail freight has emerged as one of the most compelling transport options for intercontinental trade, particularly on the China–Europe corridor. With transit times of approximately 17 days — significantly faster than the 30-35 days by sea — rail offers an attractive balance of speed and cost.
Transfactor Logistics operates regular scheduled rail services with fixed weekly departures, giving you the predictability needed for efficient supply chain planning. Our intermodal capabilities mean we can seamlessly connect rail with road and sea transport for true door-to-door logistics.
Whether you are shipping electronics from Shenzhen, automotive components from Munich, or consumer goods between any points along the Eurasian corridor, our rail transport solutions provide a reliable, cost-effective alternative to air and ocean freight.
