Global Railway to Italy logistics freight forwarders

Overview

International railway transportation is an international logistics method that uses the railroad as a means of transportation and delivers goods to foreign countries using railroad freight. That is to say, international railway transportation, like international air transportation and international shipping, is one of the international logistics methods.

Introduction

Railway transportation is a competitive logistics method that offers superior, cross-border door-to-door services. It provides better timing, pricing, carrying capacity, delivery scope, and safety than other methods. Comparing rail transportation with air and sea transportation is important for accurate logistics decisions.

Advantages of Global Railway to Italy

1. Slow aging and good stability

One of the characteristics of international railway transportation: slow timeliness and good stability. In terms of logistics timeliness, rail transport is much slower than air transport. Taking China-Europe trains as an example, the overall receipt timeliness is about 20-40 days, while air transport is generally about 7-20 days, and commercial express air transport can achieve about 3-7 days. , the overall timeliness is much higher than that of railway transportation.

However, compared with sea freight, the overall timeliness of rail transport is faster, and the timeliness for European routes by sea is 30-50 days. However, in terms of stability, due to the continuity of transportation methods and the mature transportation network, railway transportation has a high transportation punctuality rate and strong timeliness. The timeliness of railway transportation is basically caused by terminal delivery.

2. Low transportation cost and low receiving price

The construction cost of railway transportation is high, but the transportation cost is relatively low. In addition, the transportation capacity is large, and the average freight rate per KG is relatively low.

3. Large carrying capacity and wide range of items to be shipped

International rail transport carries a wide range of weights and types of items. In terms of weight, it can undertake items weighing less than 2kg, and can also undertake goods weighing more than 500kg. In terms of item types, it can generate built-in electricity, supporting electricity, liquid items, paste items, cosmetics, kitchen knives, pure battery items, etc. For air and sea transportation, most of them can only undertake general cargo, and a few can take built-in electricity and supporting electricity items.

4. The scope of mail is small

The scope of international railway transportation is relatively small. According to the current intercontinental railway transportation lines, mainly European countries, such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, etc., have a small scope of mailing. On the other hand, air freight logistics has a wide range of miles, and can basically be mailed to more than 220 countries and regions around the world.

5. Less transit and high safety

There are few transfers in railway transportation, and the transfer is basically not required until the destination is handed over to the terminal logistics service provider. There are fewer transits, and the goods do not need to be scanned, stored, and sorted multiple times, and the loss rate, damage rate, and loss rate are relatively low. In addition, the railway transportation has a strong ability to resist natural disaster risks and is less affected. So overall, the security is high.
