Rail transport can handle shipments that other modes cannot. From bulk raw materials to intermodal chains across all of Eurasia.

Rail transport from China is often shrouded in uncertainty — border delays, non-transparent pricing, paper documents arriving by fax. With us, it works differently.
You can see the entire process online, from loading to delivery. No guesswork, no waiting for emails. Rail transport alone isn't enough — goods first need to get to the train and then from the train onwards. That's why every shipment can seamlessly connect with road, sea, or other types of transport, depending on what the client truly needs. We can arrange the entire multimodal chain — from manufacturer, by train, to final destination delivery — all under one roof.

Rail transport along the New Silk Road (Belt and Road Initiative) has become a key trade corridor between China and Europe. Regular train services from Chinese cities such as Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, or Yiwu head to major European terminals — in the Czech Republic, primarily to the Česká Třebová station.
A transit time of 18–20 days is approximately twice as fast as sea freight (30–45 days) while being significantly cheaper than air freight.
