1. Ai Logistics advantageous features:

➤ Truck freight has become a widely adopted method for international goods transportation, playing a significant role in logistics. In the China-EU logistics context, its considered a smart financial choice, often surpassing the speed and CO2 emissions of alternative options such as air and train freight. As a valuable addition to freight movement between China and Europe, truck transport offers cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness that other modes lack. For instance, trucking costs 2-3 times less than rail transport, with a notably smaller carbon footprint.

➤ Ai Logistics specializes in seamless China-to-Europe shipping, offering comprehensive services including export customs clearance, shipping insurance, transit customs clearance, overseas warehousing, and destination customs clearance. Weve efficiently operated through key ports like Alashankou and Horgos to Europe. With warehouse hubs in North, East, and South China, as well as Germany, our business scope is extensive.

➤ China Railway service operates with fixed departure and destination stations and dedicated routes, ensuring efficient deliveries. Air freight similarly offers fixed airports, facilitating swift international access. Though the routes might not be as cost-efficient as rail transport, speed often compensates for this. Road freight trucking is well-suited for this type of delivery, working on an appointment basis and enabling direct unloading at warehouses or shipping facilities. This proves especially beneficial for multi-stop routes, minimizing the time spent relocating goods.

2. Benefits of trucking transportation:

➤ One remarkable aspect of Road Freight Trucking is its speed and short lead time. Compared to air freight, the time required for pickup and door delivery is notably shorter. Road freight trucking is ideal for transporting sizable, time-sensitive batches of goods or individual items that exceed the acceptable dimensions and weight limits of rail freight trains.

➤ Trucking is a crucial part of the last mile delivery process, which involves moving goods from transportation hubs to their final destinations. This term usually applies to road or rail transport, with occasional use of air transport. Given that last mile delivery often contributes the most to delivery time and costs, efficiency is key.

➤ Road freight trucking services offer solutions to many issues faced by companies importing from China. The route typically involves traveling across Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and other European countries. The total travel time from China to Europe usually falls between 13 to 22 days.

➤ Currently, road freight trucking provides more flexibility than sea logistics. It allows customers to save on transit time while navigating the challenges of todays shipping landscape.

3. Cost-effectiveness and short duration of the service:

➤ Road freight trucking is the second fastest mode of transportation after air freight. It takes around 13 days for goods to travel from China to Europe by road, while air freight takes 10 days, the China-Europe Railway takes 16 days, and sea freight takes 50 days. While road freight is slightly slower than air freight, its still faster than both rail and sea options. Despite being slightly slower, road freight offers significant cost savings compared to air freight. Its a preferred choice for international shipping, especially given the current challenges in the logistics industry due to container shortages and port congestion.

➤ In terms of cost, road freight trucking is about 20% cheaper than air freight. When you consider the overall lead time, its advantages become clear, especially for short-term transfers in the early stages.

➤ Shipping Destination for China-Europe Truck Shipment: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland.

4. Commitment:

➤ TIR Convention in International Road Freight: Cross-border trucking and customs clearance are simplified by the TIR Convention. Enforced since 2019, it enables customs-free border crossings for trucks with international carnet plates. This reduces delivery time and effort significantly.

➤ Safe Trucking Shipments: Under TIR, sealed vehicle transport is either Full Truck Load (FTL) for a full shipment or Less Than Truck Load (LTL) for shared containers. LTL offers cost-efficiency and environmental benefits.

➤ Monitoring Cross-Border Trucking: Safety is crucial for international shipping. Real-time GPS trackers and smart locks ensure secure transport. Tracking containers and preventing tampering safeguards cargo integrity throughout transport.
