There are two modes of transport in European special railway lines. The first is vehicle transport. The goods to be transported should meet the vehicle transport standard, usually one vehicle and one ticket. One is LCL transportation, which needs to share a vehicle with the same destination and the same nature of goods. Generally speaking, the European railway dedicated lines launched for cross-border e-commerce sellers are basically LCL freight transport, bulk freight.
Advantages of European railway line
1, cost-effective
The European Railway Dedicated line provides freight logistics services for cross-border e-commerce sellers. It has the advantages of stable timeliness, high efficiency and low tariff, and is a kind of cost-effective logistics mode in cross-border logistics at present.
In terms of logistics timeliness, it is much higher than the European route maritime logistics. Freight efficiency is high, the China-Europe railway directly to Europe, the goods are quickly picked up for terminal delivery, the overall signing time is about 19-25 days. Low tariff, is the price of goods is only higher than the sea freight, the overall tariff between 9 yuan /kg-18 yuan /kg.
2, good stability
One of the core competitiveness of railway transport is stability. Railway transport has its own unique transport system and route, which is less affected by other modes of transport and natural environment, and has strong freight continuity and high punctuality rate, which ensures that goods can arrive at their destination on time and smoothly.
3, high security
Relying on the characteristics of strong continuity, the railway transportation mode has fewer goods transshipment, low rate of lost parts, damage rate and loss rate, and high freight security. In addition, the accident probability of railway transportation is much lower than that of sea transportation and air transportation, and accidents can be handled more easily, and the overall freight safety factor is relatively high.
4. Small delivery restrictions
On the one hand, the weight and size of the goods and on the other hand, the type of the goods are limited. On the weight of the article, can undertake the weight of 100kg and more than the article. In terms of size, it can deliver articles with the sum of length, width and height less than 300 centimeters. In terms of item types, it supports the delivery of built-in batteries, supporting batteries, liquid items, cosmetics, paste items, adult items, kitchen knives and other items.
Disadvantages of European dedicated rail lines
1. Slow aging of logistics
For cross-border e-commerce sellers, the logistics timeliness of railway transport cannot meet the timeliness demand of most sellers, especially the spontaneous goods sellers. The time limit of 20 days or so may greatly increase the probability of consumers cancelling orders, and the hidden operational risks are huge.
2. Small postal service
The range of railway transport is relatively small, mainly to European countries, some European countries, other countries can not be delivered, there are great restrictions. If the seller wants to deliver goods to Russia, the United States, Brazil, Australia, Japan and other countries, he can only choose to air, sea and other logistics.
