With two new block trains and targeted transit time of 12 days DHL Global Forwarding is meeting demand for alternative transport modes and speeding up transit times to Asia

Bonn - In response to heavy customer demand, DHL Global Forwarding, the freight forwarding specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, introduced two new block train connections from Germany to China at the end of May. A new connection serving from the KTL terminal on the BASF site in Ludwigshafen travels via Poland, Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan to the destination terminal in Xi'an, the capital of the Chinese province Shaanxi. In addition, an express train connection has been deployed between Neuss and Xi'an via Kaliningrad reducing the transit time to 12 days. With these connections, DHL Global Forwarding's rail network is further expanding and providing customers access to faster lead times to Asia covering both less-than-container-load (LCL) and full-container-load (FCL). The implementation of complete block train routes from Europe to China reflects the growing demand for imports and speed to deliver to Asian countries complementing DHL's already existing block trains from Xi'an and Chengdu to Europe.
